Chirp Microsystems’ CH-201 MEMS sonar-on-chip time-of-flight (ToF) sensor offers a sensing range of up to 5 meters for room-scale applications. Expanding the SmartSonic MEMS ultrasonic platform, the ...

Ultrasonics refers to signals that are above the human hearing span (>20 kHz), and usually in the 40- to 70-kHz range. These signals are used like radar—they’re radiated toward a target and reflected ...

Over 340 new products have been added to the PRO factory automation sensors range by RS Components. The range now includes ultrasonic proximity sensors and fibre optical sensors which join the ...

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 ...

Ensuring safe social distancing is one piece of the puzzle for workers in the COVID-19 age. Ultrasonic range-finding sensors can measure the distance between workers with centimeter accuracy and alert ...

The Superprox SM300FP senses objects from 6.35 to 102 mm (0.25 to 4.00 in.) without compensating for different materials or colors. Its flat-profile housing measures 33 7.62 19.05 mm (1.3 0.3 0.75 in.

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...
