Categories: Other Modules
Description
🔑 Key Features:
✔ Non-Contact Sensing – Uses an infrared (IR) optical sensor for wear-free operation (no mechanical bounce). ✔ High Precision – Detects objects with sub-millimeter accuracy, ideal for precise axis homing. ✔ Wide Compatibility – Works with RAMPS 1.4, RepRap, Smoothieboard, and most 3D printer controllers. ✔ Adjustable Sensitivity – Built-in potentiometer for fine-tuning trigger distance. ✔ Fast Response – Digital (TTL) output for instant signal recognition by the printer firmware. ✔ Easy Installation – Standard 3-pin connector (VCC, GND, Signal) for plug-and-play setup. ✔ Durable Design – Compact PCB with mounting holes for secure attachment.
📌 Applications:
-
3D Printer Axis Homing – X, Y, or Z endstop replacement for smoother operation.
-
CNC Machines – Non-contact limit switching for improved durability.
-
Robotics & Automation – Position detection in DIY robotics projects.
