• A proximity sensor is a type of sensor that is use to detect the presence or absence of objects, or the distance between the sensor and an object, without physical contact. These sensors are commonly use in various applications for automation, safety, and convenience. Proximity sensors find applications in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, robotics, automotive, smartphones, and more. They are valuable for tasks like object detection, obstacle avoidance, position sensing, and automatic control in various automated systems. These sensors detect the presence of metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field. When a metal object enters the field, it induces an eddy current in the sensor, which triggers a detection signal.
