The OP207CL is ideally designed for optical encoder applications, specifically; incremental linear and rotary encoders, as well as absolute encoders. In addition, the OP207CL can be used to manufacture and design long-range optical switches, long-range light barriers for safety, optical scanning, and edge detection systems, automatic control systems such as conveyor belts and many other collimated light emission applications such as security systems that require the light emission to go large distances and have a high-collimation light rendering.
