  • How do Laser Rangefinders work?

    Laser rangefinders emit laser beams towards a target object and measure the time it takes for the laser to reflect back to the sensor. By calculating the time delay, the distance to the object can be determined accurately. These devices are commonly used in surveying, construction, and robotics for distance measurement applications.

    What are Inductive Proximity Sensors used for?

    Inductive proximity sensors detect the presence of metallic objects without direct contact. They work by generating an electromagnetic field and detecting changes in the field when a metallic object enters its sensing range. These sensors are widely employed in industrial automation, machinery, and automotive applications for object detection, position sensing, and conveyor systems.
