The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...

Capacitive proximity sensors allow sensing of metal and non-metal objects through insulating materials such as wood or plastic and are often used to sense fill levels of liquids or powders. New lower ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

CARLO GAVAZZI is proud to announce the launch of the new CD34 Series liquid level capacitive sensors. The CD34 Series is designed to detect water-based liquids through non-metallic walls, i.e. plastic ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...
