What are the features of Sick Sensors – Proximity Sensors?
(1) Since the inspection can be carried out in a non-contact manner, it does not wear or damage the object to be inspected.
(2) Since the contactless output method is adopted, the life extension (except for the magnetic type) is made of semiconductors, and the life of the docking point is not affected.
(3) It is not the same as the light detection method.

Sick Sensors – An Introduction to Seven Common Sensors
1. Physical sensor:
A physical sensor is a sensor that detects a physical quantity. It is a device that uses certain physical effects to convert the measured physical quantity into a signal in the form of energy that can be easily processed. There is a definite relationship between the output signal and the input signal. The main physical ...

Sick Sensors – Precautions for the use of grating displacement sensors
1. Add a protective cover as much as possible, and clean up the chips and oil splashed on the ruler in time to strictly prevent any foreign matter from entering the inside of the grating ruler sensor housing.
2. When plugging and unplugging the grating displacement sensor and the plug holder of the digital display, the power should be turned off.
3. For the extension of the dust seal ...

Sick Sensors – the principle and practical application of color mark sensors
Principle:
Contrast sensors are often used to detect spots on specific color marks or objects, and they are used to detect color marks by comparing them to non-color mark areas, rather than directly measuring color. The color mark sensor is actually a reverse device, where the light source is mounted perpendicular to the target object, and the receiver is connected to the ...

Common fault causes and treatment methods of Sick sensors
1. No weighing reading
This kind of fault is generally more common, the weighing value of a certain scale is zero, regardless of whether there is something on the scale, its weighing value is always zero.
There are several reasons for the above failure: a. the sensor is damaged, b. the line is open, c. the signal is ...

Sick Sensors – Installation Requirements for RTD Sensors
1. In order to have sufficient heat exchange between the measuring end of the RTD and the medium to be measured, the location of the measuring point should be reasonably selected, and the installation of RTD near the valve, elbow, pipe and equipment should be avoided as much as possible.
2. The thermal resistance with a protective sleeve has heat transfer and heat dissipation loss, in order to reduce the ...

Sick sensors – the seven basic types of temperature sensors
1. Thermocouples
Thermocouples are voltage devices that indicate temperature measurement when voltage changes. As the temperature increases, the output voltage of the thermocouple increases – not necessarily linear.
Thermocouples are typically located inside a metal or ceramic shield to protect them from exposure to a variety of environments. ...
