Line Tracking Sensor

A line tracking sensor is an infrared-based module used for detecting and following lines or paths on surfaces. It is commonly employed in robotics and automated systems to navigate predefined routes or tracks.

Key Features:

• Sensor Type: Infrared (IR) sensor module.
• Detection Method: Typically uses infrared light emitted by LEDs and reflected off the surface.
• Detection Capability: Can detect lines of contrasting colors (typically black on white or vice versa).
• Output: Digital signals indicating line detection (e.g., high or low) or analog signals proportional to the position on the line.
• Operating Voltage: Usually operates at 5V DC.
• Adjustability: Often adjustable sensitivity to fine-tune detection based on line width and surface reflectivity.
• Integration: Compact and designed for easy integration into robotic systems or line-following vehicles.
• Mounting: Typically includes mounting holes or brackets for easy installation.

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: Compact size suitable for various robotic applications.
• Operating Range: Suitable for indoor and controlled outdoor environments.
• Response Time: Fast response to changes in line position.
• Operating Temperature: Typically -10°C to +50°C.

Applications:

• Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
• Line-following robots
• Industrial automation
• Educational robotics projects
