Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Now that we have discussed the theory about the sigma-delta modulator, let us design a simple proximity sensor that will detect an approaching hand and switch on an LED. A 0.5 mm 2 wire, 10 cm long, ...

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.

[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 ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

The new IRC40 Inductive Proximity Sensors were designed as a durable solution for daily indoor and outdoor applications. They ensure accurate detection of actuating parts, such as skid conveyor ...

Vishay has release of two high-resolution automotive grade optical reflective proximity sensors that operate down to 20µm for force sensing applications. In use, an infra-red beam is sent out and its ...

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

Capacitive proximity sensors allow sensing of metal and non-metal objects through insulating materials such as wood or plastic and are often used to sense fill levels of liquids or powders. New lower ...
