Compact Position Sensors Detect Long Distances
Even though they have an overall housing length of 53 to 61mm, new CARLO GAVAZZI compact ultrasonic sensors provide sensing distances up to 800mm. The M18 housing of UA18CSD Series uses a thermoplastic construction and UA18ESD Series uses stainless steel. Available in digital or analog output versions, standard connection options for the sensors include either a […]
IP69K stainless steel inductive proximity sensors and IP69K cordsets
Carlo Gavazzi is pleased to announce two new product lines designed specifically for harsh environments. The new ICS Inductive Proximity Sensors comply with or are certified to IP69K, ECOLAB, and FDA standards, and easily accommodate both hot and cold temperature extremes. New IP69K CONB Series Cordsets are ECOLAB certified, and have one of the highest […]
Extra extended range inductive proximity sensors
CARLO GAVAZZI is pleased to announce the expansion of the popular ICB Series Inductive Proximity Sensors. New “Extra-Extended” ICB12, ICB18 and ICB30 sensors provide sensing ranges up to three times the sensing distances of standard M12, M18, and M30 cylindrical inductive proximity sensors! In addition, Carlo Gavazzi has responded to feedback received from customers to […]
Time of Flight Sensing Demonstrated
At Sensors Expo 2015 in Long Beach, CA, Julien Nguyen, a field applications engineer from STMicroelectronics demonstrates time of flight sensing using four VL6180X proximity sensors in a robotic vehicle. For more information about the time of flight sensor and its development eco-system, click here.
Offshore LVDT Linear Position Sensors
Macro Sensors Offshore LVDT Linear Position Sensors provide measurement from micro inches to two feet with repeatability and precision. Macro Sensors Offshore LVDT Linear Position Sensors are built to operate for at least twenty years, even if the sensor is fully exposed to seawater. Because the cost associated with replacing underwater hardware is extremely high, […]
Contact Sensor Squeezes into Pencil Size Spaces
With the addition of the GT2-P, KEYENCE CORPORATION OF AMERICA extends its high-precision GT2 Series of contact sensors. The new sensor features high accuracy and rugged design as well as flexible communication options in a pencil-size body. With KEYENCE’S Scale Shot System, the sensor employs both the conventional scale and transformer methods to achieve high […]
Robust miniature sensors
Turck has added the Q4,7 series of rectangular inductive sensors to its range of miniature sensors. The miniature sensors in the new design (16 x 8 x 4.7 millimeters) have been specially developed for applications in which they have to be fully embedded in metal, such as in pressing tools for example. These kinds of […]
AutomationDirect adds more inductive proximity sensors
AutomationDirect’s new APS series inductive proximity sensors are IP67-rated rectangular compact DC sensors available in top or front sensing models with 2.5mm and 4mm sensing ranges. Available in two-wire or three-wire configurations, the 10-30 VDC high-frequency oscillation type sensors are fitted with polycarbonate unshielded housings and LED status indicators. The APS series is available with […]
Inductive Proximity Sensor Boasts Industry’s Lowest Operating Current
Using patent pending technology, Micro Oscillator, Inc. (MOI) has developed Inductive Proximity Sensor Products with the industry’s lowest operating current and voltage. The sensors incorporate the company’s Sensor IC which operates at voltages as low as 1.5V to 3.5V and operating currents from 1µA to 4 µA. Two MOI Inductive Proximity Sensor Evaluation Boards are […]
