Proximity Sensors Differentiate Metal Types

November 20, 2009 By sensortipsadmin

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 […]

Motion Detector Sends Alerts to Your Phone

November 16, 2009 By sensortipsadmin

The S-PIR is a self-contained motion detector with a built in GSM modem for sending a SMS text message to you when a zone is breached. Installation is simple as SeNd Technology states that you just register the pay-as-you-go SIM card with some credit and insert into the S-PIR, plug in the mains transformer and […]

Dual-sensor, Split-connector Cuts Cylinder Costs

October 21, 2009 By sensortipsadmin

by Jack Moermond Product Specialist, Magnetic Field Sensors Balluff, Inc. Three areas where you can look to cut costs on pneumatic cylinder applications include installation time, cables, and the sensors used for detecting the piston’s position. For example, first consider the sensor in a standard cylinder. Most standard cylinders use proximity switches, either internal or […]

Magnetostrictive Sensors Meet Off-Highway Requirements

April 14, 2009 By R. Nelson Parrish

For off-highway equipment, the influx of electro-hydraulics, electronic controls, and computer controls has increased automation opportunities. But you can’t simply shoehorn industrial sensors into these applications, noted Brian Cox, product manager, MTS Sensors. “It’s not that industrial sensors are inferior, they simply offer different functions than off-highway needs. Fine resolution, for example, is unnecessary. We […]
