Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

The LMP91300 is a complete analog front end (AFE) optimized for use in industrial inductive proximity sensors. The device directly converts the RP of the external LC tank into a digital value. Post ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

Last week Belgian fabless chip company Melexis announced a unique inductive sensing IC that includes a tiny transformer, drive circuit and sense circuit, so Electronics Weekly decided to have a closer ...

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 ...

A common application seen throughout the industrial and commercial sectors is proximity sensing—detecting when some object is physically close to a sensor. A variety of processes can be implemented ...

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

Offered as a solution to increasing the size and inductive power of an inductive prox, the Prox Actuator increases prox target detection range up to 3.8" and uses an inexpensive, small-diameter sensor ...

Balluff of Florence, Kan. has released a new generation of inductive ring sensors that are designed to help whenever the infeed of small metal parts needs to be monitored. The company says the sensors ...

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

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 ...

[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 ...
