For the selection of slot-type photoelectric switches, there are several key points that need to be paid attention to, which will be introduced in detail below.

1. Slot width: The slot-type photoelectric switch needs to block infrared light, so the slot width of the photoelectric sensor should be wider than the detection object, and there needs to be a certain margin for easy installation. Only when the groove width is appropriate can the normal operation of the photoelectric switch be guaranteed.

2. Shape of trough photoelectric switch: Generally, trough type photoelectric switch has two forms: with fixing hole and without fixing hole. The choice needs to be made according to the actual situation. If you need to fix the photoelectric switch at a specific position, you need to choose a slot-type photoelectric switch with fixing holes to ensure that it is firmly fixed.

3. Installation position: When installing the grooved photoelectric switch, the outer diameter of the detection crankset should exceed the detection point by 1-2 mm, so as to effectively block the light. The choice of installation location plays an important role in the detection accuracy and stability of the photoelectric switch, and a reasonable selection needs to be made based on actual needs.

4. Speed: If high-speed detection is required in the application, then it is necessary to pay attention to whether the switching frequency of the slot photoelectric meets the usage requirements. Generally speaking, high-speed applications require the selection of photoelectric switches with higher switching frequencies to ensure stable and reliable operation.

5. Usage environment: If you use a photoelectric switch in a strong light or natural light environment, you need to choose a sensor that can resist strong light interference. In an environment with strong light interference, if you choose an unsuitable photoelectric switch, errors or insensitivity may easily occur, affecting normal production operations.

The above are the key points for selecting slot type photoelectric switches. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Only by choosing the right photoelectric switch can we better improve production efficiency and product quality.
