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 – What are the precautions for the use of load cells?
1. The signal cable of the sensor should not be arranged in parallel with the strong current power line or control line (for example, do not place the sensor signal line in the same pipe as the strong power line and the control line). IF THEY MUST BE PLACED IN PARALLEL, THEN THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM SHOULD BE KEPT AT LEAST 50CM, AND THE SIGNAL ...

Sick sensors – how to work and how to use color mark sensors
How the color mark sensor works
The color mark sensor is actually a reverse installation, the light source is perpendicular to the target object device, and the bearer is biased towards the device at an acute angle to the object, so that it only detects the scattered light from the target object, and then prevents the sensor from directly bearing the reflected light, and can make ...
