Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

From autonomous vehicles to optical testing, these sensors bring high performance infrared detection into real-world systems.

Ensuring safe social distancing is one piece of the puzzle for workers in the COVID-19 age. Ultrasonic range-finding sensors can measure the distance between workers with centimeter accuracy and alert ...

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 ...

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...

A line of distance measurement sensors, the DT 60, DL 60, DT 500 and DS 500 are well suited for a variety of material handling, logistics and general manufacturing applications. The DT 60 is a ...
