Proximity Sensors - Balluff
Proximity sensors are devices used to detect the presence or proximity of objects without physical contact. These sensors utilize different technologies, such as inductive, capacitive, or magnetic, to sense the pre...
Magnetic cylinder sensors are proximity sensors specifically designed to detect the position or movement of magnetic piston cylinders. These sensors use a magnetic field to sense the presence of a magnet embedded in the cylinder's piston or end cap. Magnetic cylinder sensors provide feedback on the cylinder's extension or retraction, allowing for precise control, monitoring, or automation of pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder operations. They are commonly used in industrial applications such as automated machinery, assembly lines, and process control systems.
Detection and ranging sensors, such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and ultrasonic sensors, are advanced devices used for object detection, distance measurement, and obstacle avoidance in robotics, automation, and autonomous systems. These sensors utilize various principles, such as laser beams or sound waves, to detect and measure distances to objects or surfaces accurately. Detection and ranging sensors provide precise and real-time distance information, enabling robots, vehicles, or machines to navigate complex environments, perform mapping tasks, or avoid collisions.
