1. Proximity Sensors Key benefits you can count on - Non contact detection to sense presence or absence of nearby objects without wear or contamination - Fast, repeatable triggering to improve cycle times and positioning accuracy - Compact form factor that fits in tight spaces and on small assemblies - Robust housing options in plastic or metal to suit industrial environments - Flexible mounting and wiring options for easy installation and scalability What this product does - Detects nearby objects without physical contact and signals a controller or PLC to take action - Supports standard sensor outputs and common wiring configurations for straightforward integration - Available in multiple sensing principles to match target materials and applications Important attributes - Function: non contact presence/absence sensing for automation and control - Compatibility: designed to work with standard industrial controllers and PLCs; configurable outputs - Size: compact housing optimized for tight installations and modular setups - Material: available in plastic or metal housings for durability and environmental needs - Performance: reliable detection with stable operation across typical industrial conditions and good noise tolerance Notes on integration - Choose the model and mounting kit that fit your space, target type, and wiring preference - Select the sensing principle (inductive, capacitive, optical, etc.) based on the target material and environment - Ensure the sensor interface matches your controller or PLC input requirements 2-3 practical use scenarios - Packaging line automation: detect the presence of a product on a conveyor to trigger a pick-and-place robot or to stop the line if the product is delayed - Industrial enclosure and safety: monitor door or lid position to prevent access during operation and ensure safe shutdown - Fixture alignment and robotics: verify correct part placement and alignment in a robotic assembly jig to improve process accuracy and repeatability
