[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

ifm presents new inductive proximity sensors in full metal housings in three sizes for safety applications: M12, M18 and M30 with a housing length of 60 mm. For use in mobile machinery, they are ...

Inductive sensors are widely used to measure position or speed, especially in harsh environments. However, to many engineers, inductive sensor terminology and techniques can be confusing. Inductive ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

Non-contact proximity sensors can improve the ruggedness of manufacturing operations, such as metal component assembly, by replacing delicate mechanical switches. Sensor selection for these ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

The material and size (also the thickness) of the target is an important factor for inductive proximity sensors. Generally there are two types of target materials for inductive sensors; ferrous and ...

IR sensors are now widely used in motion detectors, which are used in building services to switch on lamps. They are also used in alarm systems to detect unwelcome guests. Since all object have some ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...
