The Applications of Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are widely used in industry applications. They are usually used in six major fields.

Automatic production line:

• Abnormal detection
• Check whether there is a bottle cap
• Determine whether the product is qualified
• Check whether the metal products in the packing box are sufficient or not
• Distinguish between metal and nonmetal parts
• Make sure the product has had label inspection
• Crane danger zone alarm
• Automatic start and stop of escalator

Printing industry:

• Dimensional control, accurate positioning
• Size control device for metal plate punching shear
• Automatic selection, Identify the length of the metal
• Detect the height of the load during automatic loading and unloading
• Check the length, width, height and volume of the items

The pharmaceutical industry:

• Identify the object
• Detect whether objects exist or not
• Check whether there is product packaging
• on the production packaging line
• Check for product parts

CNC manufacturing:

• Rotating speed and speed control
• Control the rotating speed of the machine
• Control speed and rotation with various pulse generators

Photovoltaic products production equipment:

• Metering control
• Automatic measurement of products or parts
• Instrument pointer range and control number or flow
• Check buoy control surface height and flow
• Detecting the iron buoy in the stainless steel barrel
• Controlling the upper or lower gauge range of the instrument
• Flow control and level control

Wire mesh welding equipment:

• Check the stop, starting and passing of elevator and lifting equipment
• Detecting the position of the vehicle to prevent the collision of two objects
• Check the setting position of the working machinery and the limit position of the moving machine or parts;
• Check the stop position of the rotating body, the opening or closing position of the valve
