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 RTD sensors work
Thermal resistance is used to measure the temperature of a substance when its temperature changes, and its resistance also changes with the characteristics of the change. When the resistance value changes, the working instrument will display the temperature value corresponding to the resistance value.
RTD sensors use the resistivity of conductors or semiconductors to change with temperature.

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.
