What’s new in magnetic position sensors?

By

At Sensors Expo 2018, Vinicius (Vinnie) Cardoso, a field application engineer at Melexis, demonstrates the capabilities of the company’s magnetic position sensors. Using an extremely eye catching 3-D LED structure, he shows how the MLX90333 Triaxis® position sensor indicates the position of a magnet. With red and blue LEDs indicating the north-south poles of a […]

How can you use a three-axis position sensor?

By

At Sensor Expo 2017, Nick Czarnecki, regional marketing manager from Melexis, demonstrates concepts for position sensing using the company’s MLX90393 Triaxis position sensor in human machine interface (HMI) applications that include rotation, push detection and controlling 3D motion with a joystick. The demo shows how a non-contacting rotating knob can set the absolute axis position […]

Where can time of flight sensing be used?

By

At Sensor Expo 2017, Doug Gates, a technical sales manager from Melexis explains the applications for his company’s two-chip semiconductor solution for time of flight (TOF) sensing. Time of flight sensing uses optical, acoustic, electromagnetic or other wave techniques to measure the time that it takes for the source to travel a distance through a […]
