(1) Long detection intervals
If the detection interval of more than 10 m is maintained in the through-beam type, other inspection methods (magnetic, ultrasonic, etc.) can be completed.
(2) There are few constraints on the detected object
Because the detection principle is to detect the shading and reflection caused by the object, it is not limited to metal like a proximity sensor, etc., which can detect the object. Plastics. Timber. Almost all objects such as liquids are detected.
(3) The response time is short
Since the light itself is high-speed, and the circuitry of the sensor is composed of electronic parts, the response time is very short, excluding the mechanical operation time.
(4) High resolution
High resolution can be achieved by concentrating the projection beam at a small spot through advanced planning techniques, or by forming a special light-receiving optical system. It is also possible to detect small objects and high-precision orientation detection.
(5) Non-contact detection can be completed
The inspection can be completed without mechanical contact with the detected object, so there is no damage to the detected object and the sensor. As a result, the sensor can be used for a long time.
(6) Color discrimination can be completed
The reflectivity and absorption of the light that is made up of the object to be detected vary depending on the wavelength of the light being projected and the color combination of the object being detected. Using this property, the color of the detected object can be detected.
(7) Easy to adjust
In the type of projected visible light, the projection beam is visible to the eye, making it easy to adjust the orientation of the detected object.

Torque sensor failure and solution - Turck
The use of hysteresis dynamometers in the field of dynamometer applications (HD series) is suitable for testing low to medium power (up to 14kW intermittent mode) motors. The hysteresis dynamometer does not need to rely on speed to generate torque, but uses a hysteresis braking system, which can carry out the whole process test from no-load to latching. Lag...

Turck's proximity switch principle and precautions
How Turck's proximity switches work
The proximity switch has stable performance, and there is a sensitive adjuster at the tail, which can effectively adjust the distance according to the size. Stability, long detection distance. There are buried and non-embedded. When an object moves towards the proximity switch and approaches to a certain distance, there is a "sense" ...

Static properties of sensors – Turck
The static characteristics of a sensor refer to the correlation between the output and input of the sensor for the static input signal. Since neither the input nor the output is moment-independent, the relationship between them, i.e., the static properties of the sensor, can be used as an algebra without the moment variables.

Turck's solution to the problem of torque sensors
Torque sensors are generally used to measure the magnitude and direction of the driver's torque acting on the steering wheel and convert it into an electrical signal. The power steering ECU receives this signal and the vehicle speed signal, confirms the direction and size of the auxiliary power, and then reduces the steering torque when traveling at low speeds.
