Proximity Sensors for Object Detection from AutomationDirect

Learn about the different kinds of proximity sensors or proximity switch for object detection and which is best for your application. The quick disconnect cable with the diagnostic LED used in this video is an "EVCxxx" part number.

Very useful, keep it up, thank you very much

Looking for the next video on magnetic proximity sensors but can’t seem to find it. Can you share the link? Are magnetic proximity sensors primarily used for safety door interlocks? have a rectangular tray held in place with two magnetic arms (The two shorter sides of the rectangular tray sit on the two magnetic arms). There are cases when the tray can move upwards (away from the arms). Can a magnetic proximity sensor pointed at the top of the tray detect motion of the tray when it moves away from the magnetic arm momentarily? Thinking about mae-ap-1f

Thank you for this video. Very helpful for project

tbh i'm really confused on how to connect Proximity Sensors in series 2:12

Awesome video explanation, thank you!!

[jeremycook]

So they use these for speed detection and abs systems?

[microheliaddict]

Thanks for useful video. What sensor would you recommend for film base substrate? I need something that can be used for detecting motion picture film eg. super 8, 16mm, 35mm etc.

Hi, What would be the best sensor to use to dectect basketball? I would like record each made basketet into a database via bluetooth.

I want to detect very small metallic objects like screws, nails, washers 1-2 mm dia embedded in rubber-foam material that is moving 0n a conveyor. The sensor should be as large as possible (50 mm or higher). The sensing distance should be about 30 mm. Kindly suggest

hello sir,
Proximity sensors
how much distance of the object can be detect?
Will it detects humans?

[bowie]

hi question: what kind of sensor ( not proximity switch ) would you use for example if you have 2 metallic objects in close contact with each other and you want to activate an alarm and a warning light when these two objects get separated and not in contact anymore? thank you

[colinthomas]

Thank you for useful information, i want a proximity sensor to dectect the rpm of a bolt and i once the rpm is reduced i want the linear actuator to work with the help of arduino. what kind of sensor should be best for it?

Can you tell me what the next video is going to be called with the magnet sensors. Cant seem to find it

[richardkhyriem]

hello, i need to know which sensors can give the exact reading on display for example, 17 persons with a gun at the same time they shoot at the board which is around 20 meter far away from them and i need only the hitting bullets to show or count it in display .

Very informative and helpful video!! I have a question though, I know the capacitive sensor is capable of detecting any objects that has a dieletric constant greater than air but can it MEASURE its change of capacitance once it detects a non-conductive material?

i would like to detect the end of roll using proximity sensor. SO if the paper roll runs out of paper i want to immediately set a trigger. which sensor can i use ?

[naqiyudin]

hi im working on my final year project. planning to detection of object's vibration that fall down from high place and monitoring the localization in real time. what sensor should i use?

[amjidali]

I am sonny from China, I need your guidance for choosing sensors and motors for my project. I want to detect paper(banknotes) and then i need to trigger the motor to open the gate/ door of storing place.

[Brutishh]

Really awesome kowledged video...voice is clear and the video is soo clear...Tqs alot...But i have a doubt that...whether we can detect either PNP or its NPN by just looking at the sensor?

[abhinandanadake]

for measure the gap around 50mm by blinking the signal of big bulb to see the operator, which type of proximity i shall be used. please help.
