Photoelectric Sensors


A photoelectric sensor is a sensor that uses the photoelectric effect to detect the distance of an object. It includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits a beam, and the receiver receives the light reflected back from the beam. The distance between the object and the sensor is determined by calculating the time difference of the light. Photoelectric sensors have the advantages of fast response, high precision, and good reliability, and are widely used in automated production lines, logistics and warehousing and other fields.


Ultrasonic sensor


Ultrasonic sensor is a sensor that uses ultrasonic waves to detect the distance of objects. It includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits ultrasonic waves, and the receiver receives the signal reflected back by the ultrasonic wave, and determines the distance between the object and the sensor by calculating the time difference of the signals. Ultrasonic sensors have the advantages of wide ranging range and strong anti-interference ability, and are widely used in automobiles, robots and other fields.


Capacitive sensor


The capacitive sensor is a sensor that uses the capacitance principle to detect the distance of an object. It includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits an electric field, and the receiver receives the signal reflected by the electric field, and determines the distance between the object and the sensor by calculating the strength of the signal. Capacitive sensors have the advantages of wide ranging range and high accuracy, and are widely used in fields such as robots and smart homes.


Magnetic sensor


Magnetic sensor is a sensor that uses the principle of magnetic field to detect the distance of objects. It includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits a magnetic field. The receiver receives the signal reflected back by the magnetic field and determines the distance between the object and the sensor by calculating the strength of the signal. Magnetic sensors have the advantages of sensitive response to metal objects and strong anti-interference ability, and are widely used in security doors, vehicle detection and other fields.


In short, proximity sensors are an indispensable part of modern industry, automobiles, robots and other fields. With the continuous development of technology, the types and application scope of proximity sensors are also expanding.
