BIM-UNR Dual Sensor For C-Groove Cylinders
Minneapolis, MN — TURCK’s BIM-UNR line of compact magnetic cylinder position sensors now includes a dual sensor designed for detecting short and long stroke C-groove cylinders. BIM-UNR dual sensors provide a distinct advantage by combining two sensors through one cable connection to speed installation, as well as lessen wire costs and connection points. This design […]
Sensors Detect Metal Targets In Extreme Heat & Cold
For sensing applications exposed to temperatures from -25 degrees C to +180 degrees C, Baumer has introduced the new IFRH Series of Inductive High Temperature Sensors, a family of two-part proximity switches available in M8, M12 and M18 designs with chromium nickel steel housings. Intended for flush-face installation, the IP67-rated IFRH sensors are designed to […]
Multi-Touch ‘Resistive’ Touchscreen Controller Chip
As the latest high-tech devices such as smartphones, mobile internet devices and netbooks adopt multi-touch touchscreens to support increasingly sophisticated ‘apps’ and games,STMicroelectronics has introduced a multi-touch ‘resistive’ touchscreen controller chip to optimize the Bill of Materials of the electronics supporting this advanced capability. The STM32TS60 is the first member of ST’s new STMTouch family, […]
Mini-Photoelectric Sensor Has Many Installation Options
The new W15 from SICK is a special kind of miniature photoelectric sensor. The latest sensor and evaluation technologies from SICK meet a highly installation-friendly housing design that is common in the US market. Small wonder that the “transatlantic sensor concept” goes down well in Europe, too. Due to its “USA design,” the series is […]
iWallet Requires Fingerprint & Has Bluetooth Proximity Sensor
Putting aside the rather hokey promotional video created for the iWallet, the product looks like it will find its place in the pockets of the paranoid and those living in urban environments where pick pockets are never too far. The iWallet comes in two version: carbon fiber or carbon fiber with Kevlar. This should make […]
Proximity Sensors Differentiate Metal Types
TURCK announces their analog+ proximity sensors have been enhanced to differentiate between varying types of metal during detection—independent of their distance from the sensor. Available in ring and flat housings, these material detection sensors provide sensing ranges up to 11 mm and are well suited for stamping, die cutting and metal sorting applications, where different […]
Optical Sensor IC has Touchless Function
ROHM Co., has recently announced the development of the industry’s first monolithic optical proximity/illumination sensor that supports touchless motion detection. Intended for devices utilizing a touch panel, such as smart phones and digital cameras, where an optical proximity sensor is normally integrated in order to turn ON/OFF the touch sensor and LCD when the phone […]
