Receiver/Detector Module for Alignment Sensors

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Receiver/Detector Module

Definition

The Receiver/Detector Module is an essential sub-assembly of an Alignment Sensor system, responsible for capturing optical, electromagnetic, or other signals emitted by a transmitter or target. It converts these signals into electrical data that the sensor's processing unit uses to determine precise position, alignment, or displacement measurements. Its performance directly impacts the sensor's accuracy, resolution, and reliability.

The module typically consists of a photodiode array, CCD/CMOS sensor, or other transducer elements. It receives incoming signals (e.g., laser beams, infrared light). These signals are converted into analog electrical currents, which are then amplified, filtered, and digitized by onboard circuitry. The resulting digital data is processed to identify the signal's centroid, intensity, or pattern, enabling precise calculation of the target's position relative to the sensor.

Key parameters include operating wavelength (650–980 nm), sensitivity (0.1–1.0 A/W), response time (1–10 ns), active area (0.5–10 mm²), supply voltage (3.3–5.0 V DC), output signal (0–5 V), operating temperature (-20–70 °C), storage temperature (-40–85 °C), ingress protection (IP40–IP67 per IEC 60529), material (aluminum/ABS housing, PCB FR4), weight (10–50 g), and dimensions (20×20×10 to 50×50×20 mm). These values are reference ranges; actual specifications must be confirmed with the manufacturer for the specific model and application.

This directory entry is for informational purposes only. Verify all model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier before procurement or integration.

Working Principle

The module uses photodiode arrays, CCD/CMOS sensors, or other transducers to capture incoming optical or electromagnetic signals. These signals are converted to analog currents, then amplified, filtered, and digitized by onboard circuitry. The digital data is processed to determine the signal's centroid, intensity, or pattern, enabling precise position calculation relative to the sensor.
