Sensors play a big role in industrial applications: measuring, monitoring, and detecting any number of substances or processes. As more factories implement advanced automation and control systems as ...

Industrial production is a competitive advantage for all companies, whatever their size and whatever their activities. The new production modes, digitalized and more oriented to e-commerce, have ...

Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).

1. Measuring range. When choosing a sensor (pressure, temperature, analog, etc.), the measuring range should directly correspond with the physical measuring range in order to obtain the most accurate ...

Fibre-optic sensors are the ideal solution when installation space is limited. For such applications, ifm is now launching the new OCF series fibre-optic sensors. The sensors operate on the same ...

Chemical sensors are devices that detect the presence of specific chemical compounds called analytes. The recognition element of the chemical sensor is sensitive to the presence of specific chemical ...
