Alongside the rise of the digital industry, also come the era of automation with high-technology sensors like positioning, capacitative, fiber optic, and other sensors. Each sensor has its own capacities and functions. Here are some of the automation that may help you:
Positioning sensors
As the term implies, positioning sensors ensure that any device or piece is in its correct position for whatever industry it is in. It has several types:
Inductive Positioning Systems
Distance Measurement Sensors
Position Encoding System
Data Matrix Positioning System
Position Guided Vision
Electronic CAM-Switch Controller
Capacitive sensor
Another type of automation that you will usually see is the Capacitive sensor. With this sensor, it can detect and measure anything that can be conducted or has a dielectric different from the air. Many processes use Capacitive sensors to detect and measure proximity, pressure, position and displacement, force, humidity, fluid level, and acceleration.
Fiber optic sensor
This automation uses optical fibers either as the sensing element or as a means of relaying signals. Fiber optic sensors are pretty useful for remote sensing. Fiber optic sensors are also immune to electromagnetic interference.
Retroreflective sensors
Retroreflective sensors are very narrow beam optics that are designed to sense reflectors or reflective materials at a long-range. Suppliers not only in Singapore, but in many parts of the world offer different kinds of retroreflective sensors.
Thru-Beam Sensors
With thru-beam sensors, there are photoelectric sensors with a single transmitter and single receiver that are placed opposite each other. The transmitter will send an infrared beam to the receiver where the output will be activated once an object interrupts the light beam.
Here are just some of the automated sensors that can help your industry. If you are looking for positioning sensors or any other type of sensor, try seeking Pepperl+Fuchs Asia Pte. Ltd.
