Company Announcement - The Leuze RK46C-VarOS retro-reflective photoelectric sensor is capable of detecting objects over an operating range of 0.4 to 5.2 metres, with a light band width of 45 to 50 mm.

Leuze has introduced a broad range of stainless steel optical detectors for the food industry. “The devices are designed for reliable operation in wet areas and during intensive cleaning processes and ...

Factory automation products in the Festo range from RS Components now include the SOOD and SOOE photoelectric sensors. The distributor has also added VUVS pneumatic solenoid valves. The Festo SOOD and ...

The options when specifying sensors for long-range object detection or positioning usually boil down to two alternatives: optical sensors using either infrared or visible-red light and ultrasonic.

A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...

Self-driving sensor startup Aeva Technologies, founded by former Apple engineers, said its sensor can detect other vehicles from beyond 500m and pedestrians from a distance of more than 350m. Oppo F17 ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

The usual way of detecting objects of varying shapes, heights, or positions has been through the use of an array of single-beam photoelectric sensors or a thru-beam light grid: a photoelectric array ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...
