IR sensors rely on an emitter (IR LED) and a detector (photodiode or photoresistor) to measure infrared light and convert it ...

Scientists have just found a new way to track the uncontrolled reentry of falling space junk. As they punch into the ...

Earthquake sensors can detect sonic booms generated by reentering space debris to help track the potentially dangerous ...

As the number of satellites in orbit explodes, the amount of hardware eventually plunging back through the atmosphere is ...

Although ultrasonic sensors have been around for several decades, their popularity in sensing applications continues due to their capability, flexibility and relatively low cost. Products like ...

Reliable detection of fast-moving objects or objects that are tough to detect at longer ranges distinguishes SICK’s Dx35 line of laser distance measurement sensors. Reliable detection of fast-moving ...

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

EdgeMaster photoelectric sensors detect and monitor web or object edges. The sensors help reduce or eliminate problems such as skew, material shifts, object alignment, and web material drag or stretch ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Rear View Safety’s RVS-125 SenseStat Wireless Object Detection Sensor System is designed to provide both active and passive safety for larger vehicles. The proprietary technology uses a scanning ...

Non-contact displacement sensors are increasingly being adopted across industries for their precision, reliability, and ...
