Why Sensors?
•
The typical electromechanical switch has an
inadequate service life.
•
Extremely fast production cycles require high
switching frequencies.
•
Semiconductor sensors are more suitable than
mechanical contacts for applications with very weak
load currents.
•
The encapsulated housing design of proximity
switches makes them impervious to the negative
effects of fluids, vibrations, impacts, dust, dirt, and oil.
•
The target to be detected is very light and fragile.
•
The movement of the target is too precise for
mechanical switches.
•
The target must be detected through other objects
(
e.g., plastic or glass sheets).
