A key component in today’s near-autonomous assembly lines is the sensor, which ‘sees’ and relays information to enable the self-sustenance of a system. One common sensor is the inductive proximity ...

Capacitive Proximity Sensors Capacitive proximity sensors work on the principle of the capacitor. The main components of the sensor are the plate, oscillator, threshold detector and an output circuit.

Non-contact proximity sensors can improve the ruggedness of manufacturing operations, such as metal component assembly, by replacing delicate mechanical ...

[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 ...

What does proximity sensor actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

The advanced Pre-activated Proximity Sensor demonstrates exceptional intelligence, by quickly detecting obstructions within a mere 0.5 seconds after the flashlight is abruptly turned on and set to ...

[Dustin Andrews] built this add-on board which works as a proximity sensor. He wanted a standalone sensor for his Arduino projects which would use a single pin as a trigger. This lets him alert the… ...
