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 ...

A popular series of inexpensivedistance sensors integrates aninfrared emitting diode, a linearcharge-coupled-device array, and asignal-processing circuit in one unit.The output is a dc voltage, V S, ...

Maxim Integrated introduces it’s new MAXREFDES27# IO-Link subsystem reference design that lets operators tune and calibrate an optical proximity sensor with excellent accuracy, up to 14 bit resolution ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

Sensors bring lifelike situational awareness to numerous types of smart equipment Industry-best 90-degrees field of view enhances privacy-protected multi-zone ranging, object-detection, and ...

The GP2Y0D02 is an infrared proximity sensor with a detection field that extends 80cm. This type of sensor can be used to build collision avoidance systems for robots. We’ll demonstrate this sensor ...
