An Optical Endstop Switch is an electronic component used in 3D printers, CNC machines, and other automated systems to accurately determine the position of moving parts.
This fully assembled plug-and-play Optical Endstop Switch is very suitable for your 3D printing or CNC project. The Optical Endstop Switch will immediately output the digital control when the light is blocked and turn the LED on.
The optical end-stop is a reliable end-stop / switch solution for any type of 3D printer and other CNC and 3D tools. Using the optical transmission principle designed, no loss, no noise, and longer service life reached more than one hundred thousand times.
The primary function of an optical endstop switch is to detect the presence or absence of an object (usually a moving component, like an axis) at a specific point in its travel. It uses an optical sensor to perform its function. The sensor typically consists of an infrared light source and a receiver.
The sensor emits an infrared beam. When an object interrupts this beam, the receiver detects the change in light intensity, indicating that the object is present. Optical endstops are known for their high precision and accuracy in determining the position of a moving component.
Since it relies on light interruption rather than physical contact, it doesn’t cause wear and tear on the moving parts. Optical endstop Switches don’t have physical switches or contacts that can wear out over time, which contributes to their reliability.
When the optical sensor detects an object, it sends an electrical signal (usually a digital signal) to the control system of the machine. It requires electrical connections to the control board or microcontroller of the machine.
Designed for easy installation, this endstop switch can be effortlessly integrated into your existing setup. Its user-friendly design minimizes the time needed for setup, allowing you to get your projects up and running quickly.
When properly calibrated and maintained, optical endstop switches provide reliable and consistent position detection. Optical endstops are commonly used in applications where accurate positioning and repeatability are crucial, such as 3D printers, CNC machines, laser engravers, and other automated systems.
Optical endstops are generally considered safe because they don’t involve physical contact with moving parts. However, they should be used in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and industry safety standards.
