Laser diffuse sensor integrates time-of-flight technology
Small housing, big operating range: Thanks to TOF technology, the new ODT3CL1-2M compact diffuse sensor from Leuze achieves an operating range of up to two meters. The 2-in-1 sensor detects the presence of objects and at the same time transmits measurement values. With the new ODT3CL1-2M laser diffuse sensor, the Sensor People from Leuze are […]
How will sensors be used to increase warehouse automation?
Many of today’s warehouses have been or are in the process of transitioning from strictly a manual or conventional warehouse to a partially and eventually a fully automated warehouse. Depending on the level of sophistication, any automated process requires a variety of sensing technologies. Research from one company predicts that over 75% of companies will […]
Chips provide input/output isolation for -60 to 60 V conversion to logic signals
NOVOSENSE Microelectronics has introduced two new isolated digital input (DI) chips suitable for 24V digital signal input in industrial control applications such as PLCs, servos, and inverters. The 4-channel NSI8604 and the 8-channel NSI8608 provide input/output isolation when converting voltages in the range of -60V to 60V to logic signals. Both devices support bi-directional digital […]
