What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).

With the rise of collaborative machines where do you start when it comes to selecting sensors for cobots? By Markus Lorenz. Collaborative robots – 'cobots' have quickly become a familiar sight within ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...
