Photoelectric sensors and light curtain sensors are among the most commonly used sensing devices in factories. Photoelectric ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

Here is the circuit of a little label sensor ideal for detecting labels on bottles. The circuit offers a peak sensing distance of 2.5 mm (operating range 0.2 mm to 15 mm) backed up by the proven ...

• Machine builders cannot rely upon a “one-sensor-fits-all” mentality. • Most common sensors today include standard photoelectric sensors, lasers, fiber-optic sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and vision ...

Hamamatsu Photonics has recently developed a new reflective sensor named P13567-02CT. The sensor is designed to work with near-infrared/proximity types and is packaged in a compact size. It contains ...

Leuze has introduced a broad range of stainless steel optical detectors for the food industry. “The devices are designed for reliable operation in wet areas and during intensive cleaning processes and ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...
