Once you have a track and a kart to race on it, what’s missing? A lap counter that can give your lap times in hardcopy, obviously! That’s what led [the_anykey] to create the Arduino-based Lap Timer to ...

Photoelectric sensors and light curtain sensors are among the most commonly used sensing devices in factories. Photoelectric ...

Once you have a track and a kart to race on it, what’s missing? A lap counter that can give your lap times in hardcopy, obviously! That’s what led [the_anykey] to create the Arduino-based Lap Timer to ...

Here is the circuit of a little label sensor ideal for detecting labels on bottles. The circuit offers a peak sensing distance of 2.5 mm (operating range 0.2 mm to 15 mm) backed up by the proven ...

Reflective systems have the beam transmitter and receiver in the same housing (a transceiver), with a reflective plate on the opposite wall. This can still be up to 100m away, and the plate is ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — The OPB733TR miniature reflective sensor from Optek combines a 7.6×4.06 mm footprint with lensed optics for enhanced sensing range in space-constrained applications. The reflective ...

SICK introduced the SICK W4F line of miniature smart sensors designed to reach next-generation detection performance while including new optical technologies to solve typical pharmaceutical sensing ...

Würth Elektronik has revealed two reflective optical sensors. These are simple devices, with an infra-red emitter and a photo-transistor, both facing upwards, but work at an unusual wavelength. “These ...
