Optical position sensors are devices designed to accurately measure the position of objects or surfaces using light-based technology. It utilizes the principles of light reflection, refraction, or absorption to determine the position of a target object with a high degree of precision. It employs a light source, typically a light-emitting diode (LED), and a photodetector to translate the object's position into an electrical signal. As the object moves, it interrupts the light path between the source and the detector, generating pulses that are converted into position data. Additionally, it offers advantages such as extended lifespan, reduced wear and tear, and immunity to certain environmental conditions. These sensors find utility in tasks including controlling the position of robotic arms, monitoring the movement of conveyor belts, and maintaining precise alignment of machine parts. As a result, optical position sensors are widely adopted in robotics, manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace industries.
