Powerful lasers get powerfully hot and if you don’t keep them cool you’ll pay the price. After two such experiences [NixieGuy] got smart and milled this flow sensor as a failsafe. Laser cutters are ...

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 ...

Every once in a while, you get your hands on a cool piece of hardware, and of course, it’s your first instinct to open it up and see how it works, right? Maybe see if it can be coaxed into doing just ...

Why there’s a need to assess current-flow distribution. How an arrangement was made for the measurement using a controlled magnetic field, laser-induced current flow, and a subtle physics-materials ...

Vibration sensors provider VocalZoom (VZ) recently launched autonomous sensors for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Combining contactless, high-resolution vibration sensor technology with ...

The fundamental way to develop the next generation of resonant-based sensor technology is via the characterization of the motion of high-frequency microdevices with sub-nanometer resolution.
