Micro-Epsilon has extended its range of confocal chromatic distance and thickness measurement sensors with a new High ...

Two new compact 4- and 5-mm inductive proximity sensors were crafted to work in concert with the recently developed ultra-miniature M5 (5-mm diameter) connectors. By combining the two, high ...

Over the last decade or so, we’ve been inundated with appliances with wireless or “smart” technology that is often of dubious utility. No one really needs a tablet in their refrigerator or Wi-Fi on ...

Recently, I exhausted my stock of common passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor modules and was looking for a new one to play with. I searched the web for a small type with self-contained electronics.

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

[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 ...

Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...
