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 ...

HOW DOES THE CHOICE OF PROXIMITY SENSORS AFFECT THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF MOTION-CENTRIC AUTOMATION SYSTEMS? Alex • Baumer: Proximity sensors, through their specifications, have a significant effect ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Geneva, October 8, 2014 - STMicroelectronics (STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has revealed a new highly accurate optical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Proximity detection adds many smart features to the devices we use.For example, when making a call with a phone held to your ear, face detection using proximity sensing can disable the touchscreen and ...
