[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Though it's not their primary role, proximity sensors can be harnessed to detect motion, and sometimes, even measure it. Here are some of the techniques in use today. Quick. Name a device you can use ...

HANOVER, Germany—Using a drone and strategically placed microphones on the ground, Continental A.G. has developed a conveyor belt maintenance system that can identify weak points along the track ...

Properly choosing an inductive proximity sensor can be challenging. Learn about the critical factors to consider when making your decision. Inductive proximity sensors detect the position/presence of ...

Proximity sensors detect the existence of objects of interest in the vicinity of the sensor. Absolute displacement, as well as relative displacement of objects, can be measured using displacement ...
