Optical Displacement Sensor Squeezes into Smallest Space
If sufficient space is not available, making precision distance measurements at a reasonable cost can be a problem. The SICK Optical Displacement (OD) Mini short range distance sensor addresses these restrictions. With measuring ranges from 100 to 250 mm, the sensor uses CMOS receiver technology to deliver accurate, high-resolution measurements regardless of brightness and color […]
Sensor Webinar: Solving Common Sensor Application Problems
System designers face a surprising variety of sensing issues these days from continuously monitor factory machinery to making multiple measurements with limited space. Sensor suppliers recognize the challenges and with the help of in-house experts have designed solutions to solve these and other problems. The solutions get a lot easier to implement if the supplier […]
Small Size Sensors Increase Application Opportunities
Many companies are addressing the need for smaller sensors. Check out: It’s a Small World: Sensing in Tight Spaces.
