Here’s a comparison of the performance and limitations of inductive, capacitive, photelectric and ultrasonic proximity sensors.

Inductive displacement sensors are a big step up from proximity sensors, but mostly thanks to more electronics and processing. Instead of a binary output, the classic inductive displacement sensors ...

Instead of measuring light, we measure the ambient voltage field on pin A5 and use it to detect if someone is too close to our Arduino. A5 is used as a “floating input”, but unfortunately it is very ...

Though it's not their primary role, proximity sensors can be harnessed to detect motion, and sometimes, even measure it. Here are some of the techniques in use today.

No restrictions with sensors from Baumer The comprehensive portfolio of miniature inductive sensors offers users maximum flexibility for reliable solutions in the tool clamping process. The customer ...
