AutomationDirect has expanded its photoelectric sensor offering to include OPT series short and long range distance sensors. Available with either Class 1 or Class 2 laser options, the distance ...

Panasonic has produced a range of micron-accurate industrial distance measuring sensors. Unlike its earlier similar sensors, digital output devices in the new HL-G2 series include interfaces for both ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Featuring new firmware, the sensor combines window thresholds on both target distance and target reflected intensity, allowing easy solution of difficult applications. The unit can now detect clear ...

The latest OM70 laser distance sensors from BAUMER provide reliable and precise inline measurements, even on more ‘challenging’ and inconsistent structured surfaces and materials. They also include ...

I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

Smarter measurement, faster control: innovative sensor technology as the key to efficient automation. 26/01/2026 ...

Along with distance information (z-axis), the controller also calculates the true position along the laser line (x-axis) from the camera image and outputs both values in the sensor’s 2D coordinate ...
