Low-cost sensors get the measure of
distance
Pepperl+Fuchs has a range of inductive distance measurement sensors that give a repeatable accurate analogue output based on the distance of a metal object from the sensor.
With modern manufacturing processes becoming faster and more accurate, it's not always enough just to ask whether an object is present Sometimes there is a requirement to know exactly where it is - and that means measurement
Depending on the environment, various distance measurement devices can be used, such as ultrasonic or photoelectric sensors.
But there is another way.
For low-range, low-cost applications, an inductive sensor can be used.
Pepperl+Fuchs has a range of inductive distance measurement sensors that give a repeatable accurate analogue output based on the distance of a metal object from the sensor.
With ranges up to 40mm and a 0-10V or 4-20mA output users can achieve a resolution in tenths of millimetres.
The other advantage is that as it is an inductive sensor, it is unaffected by moisture, dust, wind, light or temperature. Request a free brochure from Pepperl+Fuchs GB ...
