The LMP91300 is a complete analog front end (AFE) optimized for use in industrial inductive proximity sensors. The device directly converts the RP of the external LC tank into a digital value. Post ...

A common application seen throughout the industrial and commercial sectors is proximity sensing—detecting when some object is physically close to a sensor. A variety of processes can be implemented ...

Last week Belgian fabless chip company Melexis announced a unique inductive sensing IC that includes a tiny transformer, drive circuit and sense circuit, so Electronics Weekly decided to have a closer ...

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

Resistance welding is known to create electromagnetic interference at levels high enough to falsely trigger inductive proximity sensors. Sensor manufacturers use three common methods to combat this ...

One of the backbones to the success of any automated process is the accuracy to which one can detect and measure the various elements involved. Whether the process requires precise measurement and ...

The proximity sensor is suited for material handling, mobile equipment, industrial equipment, and food and beverage processing applications desiring reduced maintenance and fewer equipment breakdowns.

The three sensors are available in configurations for compact, harsh environmental and general purpose applications, and feature a rugged stainless steel body, shock resistant front caps, impact ...

Balluff of Florence, Kan. has released a new generation of inductive ring sensors that are designed to help whenever the infeed of small metal parts needs to be monitored. The company says the sensors ...

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...
