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 ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce the launch of the new CD34 Series liquid level capacitive sensors. The CD34 Series is designed to detect water-based liquids through non-metallic walls, i.e. plastic ...

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 ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

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 ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

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