A device that detects the presence of an object in the vicinity. There are many types of sensors for myriad applications; however, they all work by emitting a signal and analyzing the changes in the ...

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

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 Weld Select family of proximity sensors consists of Weld Field Immune sensors, SteelFace sensors, and related products designed to protect sensor connector components from damage in welding cells.

Consumer devices like cell phones are using more and more sensors to save power and enhance our interaction with them. Some of the latest devices have multiple sensors; and now, two important and ...

[Dustin Andrews] built this add-on board which works as a proximity sensor. He wanted a standalone sensor for his Arduino projects which would use a single pin as a trigger. This lets him alert the ...

[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 ...
