In industrial automation, sensors are not just accessories, they are critical components that directly affect machine performance, operator safety and production efficiency. A poorly selected sensor ...

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).

Banner Engineering‘s new Q45 Photoelectric Wireless Sensor merges two of the Minneapolis-based sensor manufacturing firm’s technologies: its photoelectric sensing technology that was traditionally ...

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 ...

These light barriers create a closed light beam between the sensor and machine part. A separate reflector is unnecessary, reducing operating costs and increasing process safety. SmartReflect light ...

The NHK Science & Technology Research Laboratories (STRL) has been researching image sensors with the goal of achieving higher sensitivity for equipment such as 8K Super Hi-Vision (8K) cameras. An ...

Demand for imaging in the shortwave-infrared (SWIR) range (between 1000 and 2000 nm) has been on the rise in recent years. Sensors for these SWIR wavelengths prove critical in industries such as food ...
