The reflective properties of plastic make it a notorious offender in this regard. The problem even extends to those objects covered in shrink wrap. Polarizing filters help block false readings from ...

1300-1650nm light source and photodetector integrated into one package SHIMOTSUKE-SHI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyoto Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Yoshihisa Shinya, Headquarters: ...

The EQ-34-PN-J is a photoelectric sensor with adjustable range reflective and PNP open collector by Panasonic. The device has a minimum operating supply voltage of 10 VDC. The device hardly gets ...

When you’re designing miniature optical switches, reflective sensors are your best friend. They streamline the interaction between humans and machines in an elegant and intuitive manner. These sensors ...

Once you have a track and a kart to race on it, what’s missing? A lap counter that can give your lap times in hardcopy, obviously! That’s what led [the_anykey] to create the Arduino-based Lap Timer to ...

The usual way of detecting objects of varying shapes, heights, or positions has been through the use of an array of single-beam photoelectric sensors or a thru-beam light grid: a photoelectric array ...

Allowing users to detect color differences in liquids or solids, the company's reflective sensor assembly combines a white LED with a reflective color-sensor chip in a miniature plastic housing ...

Company Announcement - The Leuze RK46C-VarOS retro-reflective photoelectric sensor is capable of detecting objects over an operating range of 0.4 to 5.2 metres, with a light band width of 45 to 50 mm.

Capable of effective operation in sunlight with intensities up to 200 kLux, the TCND3000 surface-mount, reflective optical sensor integrates touch and proximity functions and operates with an E909.01 ...

These light barriers create a closed light beam between the sensor and machine part. A separate reflector is unnecessary, reducing operating costs and increasing process safety. SmartReflect light ...

Everyone is familiar with pinwheels, and few of us haven’t crafted one from a square of paper, a stick, and a pin. Pinwheels are pretty optimized from a design standpoint, and are so cheap and easy to ...
