Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).

Banner Engineering‘s new Q45 Photoelectric Wireless Sensor merges two of the Minneapolis-based sensor manufacturing firm’s technologies: its photoelectric sensing technology that was traditionally ...
