Presenter: Craig Disston of Automation Distribution Inc.
An overview of sensor technologies and their practical application in presence detection, level sensing, simple imaging, and bar code reading.
Photoelectric Sensors: Opposed, retroreflective, diffuse, and fixed field. Analog distance sensors using angular displacement or time-of-flight. Laser sensors. Developments in small sensors and advantages of different colors, especially blue LED sensors. Fiber optic sensors.
Inductive Proximity Sensors: standard, factor 1, and analog.
Capacitance sensors: principle, effect of moisture.
Ultrasonic sensors: importance of temperature compensation; effect of frequency. Other application considerations.
Specialty sensors: clear label detection, bar code readers, more.
Other sensors: microwave, radar etc.
