Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

TURCK announces their analog+ proximity sensors have been enhanced to differentiate between varying types of metal during detection—independent of their distance from the sensor. Nov. 25, 2009 ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Most design engineers of consumer and industrial products always look for various ways to achieve their desired goals in applications ranging from wearables to handheld devices to industrial ...

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 ...
