As mentioned in our recent published blog post, inductive proximity sensors are widely used to detect metal objects, but what should you do when considering detecting glass or plastic? The answer is to use capacitive proximity sensors. Do you want to know how capacitive proximity sensors work? In this article, you will find the answer. […]

When we talk about proximity sensors, we always think of its output, but what exactly is the output? From a technical point of view, the output of a proximity sensor can be a transistor (PNP or NPN), a relay output, or an analog output(4-20mA for example). Today we are going to cover the difference between

Safety light curtains not only protect workers from dangerous machines in an invisible way, but also save time when frequently opening or closing guardrails manually. The first safety light curtain was developed by Erwin Sick, who subsequently founded the SICK – a well-known German sensor manufacturer. As a beginner of safety light curtains, you may

Safety light curtains are a type of protective equipment, widely used in the field of industrial automation to protect people from potential harm caused by dangerous machines, such as punching machines, cutting machines, and printing machines. When using the product, you may find it interesting that there are always two outputs, called OSSD1 and OSSD2,

With the continuous improvement of societal awareness regarding safety, people are increasingly emphasizing measures to safeguard personal safety when operating machinery. In this trend, the introduction and widespread use of safety light curtains have significantly enhanced the level of protection, providing operators with a more reliable guarantee and effectively reducing the risk of accidental injuries.

The safety light curtains play a very vital role in various kinds of equipment, such as Hydraulic Press Equipment, robotic arms, elevator, and so on,  to protect a personnel from injury. A safety light curtain sensor consists of two parts, one is infrared light emitter, the other is infrared light receiver, there are many beams
