The Optoelectronics group of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new high sensitivity proximity ...

Now you have a sensor that not only detects nearby object but also the distance from the sensor to the object. The new proximity sensor from STMicroelectronics based on FlightSense Time-of-Flight ...

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 ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

A line of distance measurement sensors, the DT 60, DL 60, DT 500 and DS 500 are well suited for a variety of material handling, logistics and general manufacturing applications. The DT 60 is a ...

For a long time, displacement sensors were seen as simple tools devices that measure how far something moves from one point ...

Most design engineers of consumer and industrial products always look for various ways to achieve their desired goals in applications ranging from wearables to handheld devices to industrial ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...
