The Everlight ITR9909-R is a reflective object sensor, also known as an optoreflector, designed for detecting the presence or absence of an object by reflecting infrared (IR) light. It integrates an IR LED and a phototransistor in a single package. When an object is present within the sensing range, the IR light emitted by the LED is reflected back to the phototransistor, which then conducts current, indicating the object's presence.

Applications:

• Line Following Robots: Used in line following robots to detect and follow a line on a surface.
• Object Detection: Employed in various applications for object detection, such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and conveyor systems.
• Position Sensing: Integrated into position sensing systems to detect the position of moving parts.
• Edge Detection: Used for edge detection in paper handling equipment and printers.
• Coin Acceptors: Integrated into coin acceptors to detect the presence of coins.

Features:

• Emitter: Infrared (IR) LED.
• Detector: Phototransistor.
• Sensing Distance: Typical sensing distance ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters, depending on the object's reflectivity.
• Package: Compact package for easy integration.
• Operating Temperature: Wide operating temperature range for reliable performance in various environments.
• High Sensitivity: High sensitivity to reflected IR light for reliable detection.
