Description
Optical Endstop Light Control Limit Optical Switch provides high precision and reliability, making it ideal for 3D printers, CNC machines, and other automated machinery. This plug-and-play optical endstop is essential for protecting equipment from exceeding its operational range, thus preventing possible damage. It serves as an optical sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object through light interruption. Unlike traditional mechanical endstops, optical endstops offer non-contact detection, minimizing wear and tear while delivering a longer lifespan and more consistent performance.
