What is an industrial sensor?
An element sensor is a sensor that converts physical quantities, humidity, heat, etc. into analog or digital electrical quantities. Sensors are used in measuring devices, analog and digital control systems such as PLCs. The function of the sensors and their ability to connect to different devices has made the sensors an integral part of automatic control systems. Some sensors are connected separately and some sensors are combined with other measuring devices and read the sensed information and report it to the control unit and change the performance of the devices.
Industrial sensors are divided into two types
Contact sensors
Non-contact sensors
Contact sensors: Contact sensors sense the part by contact with it and send information to the controller. Contact sensors are classified into two categories: contact detection sensors and force sensors.
Non-contact (proximity) sensors: Non-contact sensors are sensors that sense and activate when a piece is approaching. Non-contact sensors have high accuracy and speed of response, but how to make non-contact sensors is difficult.
