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 ...

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 ...

The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

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.

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 ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

All sensors are analog in nature, even an on/off switch, but how they work and how to get accurate information with the ...

The Dx35 line of mid-range laser distance measurement sensors feature a compact housing with an IP 67 enclosure rating that reduces mounting restrictions and offers improved performance in outdoor ...

Sharp GP2D12 and 2Y0A02 infrared rangers output a voltage proportionate to the distance of an object from the sensor. The GPD12 senses objects at a distance of 10-80cm, while the 2Y0A02 has twice the ...

AutomationDirect has expanded its photoelectric sensor offering to include OPT series short and long range distance sensors. Available with either Class 1 or Class 2 laser options, the distance ...
