Application and advantages of sensors

• High Current Capability
• Low Cost
• Familiar “Low-Tech” Sensing

• Requires Physical Contact with Target
• Very slow response
• Contact bounce

• Interlocking
• Basic End-of-Travel sensing

• Sensor all kinds of materials
• Long life
• Longest sensing range
• Very fast response time

• Lens subject to contamination

· Sensing range affected by color and reflectivity of target

• Packaging
• Material handling
• Parts detection

• Resistant to harsh environments
• Very predictable
• Long life
• Easy to install

• Distance limitations

• Industrial and machines
• Machines tool
• Senses metal-only targets

• Detects through some containers
• Can detect non-metallic targets

• Very sensitive extreme environment changes

• Level sensing

• Senses all materials

• Resolution
• Repeatability
• Sensitive to temperature changes

• Anti-collision
• Doors
• Web Brake
• Level control
