The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

Designing with high-fidelity capacitive proximity sensors requires careful consideration of mechanical design, sensor placement/design, and end-application operating environments. Careful evaluation ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

Carlo Gavazzi is excited to introduce three new series of M12 Capacitive Sensors with IO-Link Communications. Based on our 4th generation TRIPLESHIELDTM sensors, these CA12 Series Sensors represent ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Capacitive sensors supply high accuracy at a relatively low cost. But system designers attempting to use them have been forced to first convert the capacitance to a voltage, then convert the voltage ...

The new CA18CB..IO and CA30CB..IO capacitive sensors with IO-Link communication offer exceptional sensing performance and simplified adjustments through their integrated LED bar, which displays on/off ...
