Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

KT Series capacitive touch sensitive sensors are designed to be used as machine start/stop buttons in the industrial automation, mobile and building automation industries. The sensors provide a ...

A new study reveals a scalable way to manufacture soft capacitive sensors, improving customization and performance for applications in wearable and robotic systems.

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

Capacitive sensors supply high accuracy at a relatively low cost. But system designers attempting to use them have been forced to first convert the capacitance to a voltage, then convert the voltage ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...

Engineers developing heavy equipment such as tractors, cranes, wood chippers, and construction equipment need to include incline sensors and indicators—both to ensure that workers do not operate the ...

Capacitive touch sensing has been traditionally used as a design differentiating technology to enable superior aesthetic designs for automotive infotainment applications. With devices maturing to the ...
