Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has unveiled a fully integrated proximity sensor that packs a high-power vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL), a photodiode, a signal processing IC, and a 12-bit ...

Santa Clara, CA and Kyoto, Japan, Sept. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ROHM Semiconductor today announced a compact 2.0mm × 1.0mm proximity sensor, the RPR-0720, optimized for applications requiring ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...

Said to be the first device to combine an IR emitter, PIN photodiode, ambient light detector, signal-processing IC, and 16-bit ADC all in a 3.95 x 3.95 x 0.75-mm leadless surface-mount package the ...

[Klaus] wanted some sort of aid for parking his car, and after running across a $4 ultrasonic sensor, decided to build his own speaking distance sensor (.de, Google Translation). Inside [Klaus]’ ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Most design engineers of consumer and industrial products always look for various ways to achieve their desired goals in applications ranging from wearables to handheld devices to industrial ...

I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...
