We’re used to thinking of limit switches as a mechanical device that cuts the motor connection before physical damage can occur. [Anthony] decided to try a different route with this project. He built ...

A new limit switch features a precision inductive sensor with a hysterisis of less than 1 µm, claimed as the lowest on the market. The IPS05/4608KS inductive sensor switch has a sensing distance of ...

Machines are moving beyond single-point sensing. Multi-sensor fusion now delivers vision, ranging and inertial data. The ...

There are a bunch of low cost cnc engraving machines loosely called ‘3018’ as they cut material up to 30 x 18cm, and the same parts are used in two smaller sizes down to a 1610. They are not the ...

• Product specifications are not always presented in a way that allows direct comparison. • A resolution spec apart from a bandwidth spec is not entirely useful. There’s one problem with sensors: The ...
