Latching relay

[6ply]

Regarding use of a "standard" relay, this may make things clearer

the objects are a irregular size so with the current setup it starts to clamp then releases if a thin part of the object passes the sensor if that makes sense?

I want it to latch on and keep clamping as soon as it detects a signal from the sensor

its used with animals so timers etc dont really work as it all depends on how fast each one moves

Umm..
I've got some animal welfare obligations due to the day job...
You might have to explain before I help any further,
Just tell me it's fish..

Google tepari its a similar setup albeit simpler than that

Got it all up and running just need to refine and tidy it up a bit now
