inductive proximity sensor
The inductive proximity sensor is a type of sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object without physical contact. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating an alternating magnetic field and measuring the changes in the field caused by the presence of a target material. This sensor's main functions include detecting the position of parts, counting, and safety guarding in industrial automation. Technological features of the inductive proximity sensor encompass a variety of detection ranges, turndown adjustments, and the ability to work in harsh environments. Its applications are widespread, ranging from manufacturing and assembly lines to robotics and material handling systems.
