Now you have a sensor that not only detects nearby object but also the distance from the sensor to the object. The new proximity sensor from STMicroelectronics based on FlightSense Time-of-Flight ...

Omron Automation has added more than 2500 devices to its E2E NEXT line of proximity sensors featuring extended sensing distance and IoT functionality. Long-distance sensing minimizes target contact ...

SU, UK, UT and TU series round body and UQ series cubic plastic ultrasonic distance sensors from AutomationDirect are now available in sensing distance ranges from 60mm to 8000mm, in metal or plastic ...

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 ...

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 ...

A line of distance measurement sensors, the DT 60, DL 60, DT 500 and DS 500 are well suited for a variety of material handling, logistics and general manufacturing applications. The DT 60 is a ...

As the world struggles with the impact of COVID-19, businesses and governments are seeking ways to safely restart global commerce and local economies to mitigate the financial impact of the virus.

[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 ...

Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position of their rotating targets by generating a series of pulses. Tachometer generators and many other conventional rotation monitors ...
