The monitoring of rotation can involve such sensor types as proximity, photoelectric, resolvers, encoders, and tachometer generators. Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position ...

I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

The German sensor-maker Leuze claims that it has been able to cut measurement errors in demanding industrial applications by ...

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 ...

SU, UK, UT and TU series round body and UQ series cubic plastic ultrasonic distance sensors from AutomationDirect are now available in sensing distance ranges from 60mm to 8000mm, in metal or plastic ...

Electronic enthusiasts that need to measure angles on their robotic arm or other projects may be interested in a new proximity sensor that has been created by William Moore called the Protractor. The ...

STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm passive IR sensor. This provides more accurate results as well as information about the distance rather than just a basic ...

As the world struggles with the impact of COVID-19, businesses and governments are seeking ways to safely restart global commerce and local economies to mitigate the financial impact of the virus.

A salvaged Tesla Model 3 could detect distances even after the front bumper containing the ultrasonic sensors was taken off. This finding is surprising considering that the car was running the 2022.28 ...
