It should be noted that metallic contaminants such as filings from cutting applications sometimes affect the inductive sensor performance. Capacitive proximity sensors detect both metallic and non ...

Due to their low power consumption, low cost, and high resolution, capacitive sensors are replacing inductive, optical, and ultrasonic technologies in many applications. Although a capacitive ...

the inductive proximity sensor must become capacitive. Capacitive proximity sensors detect a wide variety of materials. For instance, capacitive sensors are often used to detect granular or ...

For detection of non-metal targets in such environments, capacitive sensors can be used. However, where ultimate precision and accuracy is required, that’s where eddy current sensors come in. These ...

How inductive sensing (combined with capacitive sensing in some cases) enables a new level of smart surfaces with touch HMI.
