Conveying & Transmission Inductive sensors with increased sensing intervals
Inductive sensors with increased sensing intervals are particularly safe against mechanical damage to the sensor.
Inductive sensors with increased sensing intervals are designed to be used in flush and non-flush devices according to specifications. Under normal circumstances, when the sensor is flushed, it is disturbed by the metal around it. The special design and documentation of our sensors allow for a great deal of resistance to such disturbances, and the product has efficient operational safety over the entire temperature range.

The reason why the output signal of the photoelectric sensor is unstable
Photoelectric switch (photoelectric sensor) is the abbreviation of photoelectric proximity switch, which uses the shielding or reflection of the beam by the detected object to connect the circuit by the synchronous loop to detect the presence or absence of the object. When the photoelectric sensor outputs the signal, the signal is occasionally unstable, and many people do not know what to do.

Sensor performance indicators – ifm
Selection of sensitivity
In general, within the linear scale of the sensor, the higher the sensitivity of the sensor, the better. Because as long as the sensitivity is high, the value of the output signal corresponding to the measured change is relatively large, which is conducive to the signal processing.

The difference between a fiber optic sensor and a photoelectric sensor – ifm
The first point is that photoelectric sensors and fiber optic sensors work differently
First of all, from the principle of operation of the two, first of all, the photoelectric sensor is operated according to the principle of the photoelectric effect, that is to say, when the light hits the photoelectric sensor made of semiconductors, the light will be announced.

Attention to the selection of industrial sensors – ifm
1. According to the measurement object and measurement environment
In order to carry out a detailed measurement operation, it is necessary to consider the principle of the sensor first, which needs to analyze many factors before confirmation. Because, even if the same physical quantity is measured, there are sensors with multiple principles to choose from.
