Applications

Distance-measuring, inductive sensors offer many application possibilities. A basic distinction is made between direct distance measurements/position feedback and indirect, specific measurements.


기술

유도식 거리 센서(AlphaProx)는 유도식 근접 스위치와 동일한 측정 원리에 기반합니다. 이 센서는 센서면 근처에서 고주파 전자기장을 생성합니다. 이 영역에 금속 개체가 위치하면 전자기장이 개체의 거리, 재료, 크기에 따라 변화합니다. 센서는 이러한 변화를 감지한 후 이를 비례식 출력 신호로 변환합니다. 표준 AlphaProx 센서는 오직 아날로그식으로 신호를 변환합니다. 그리고 이로써 높은 측정 속도, 우수한 반복성, 낮은 판독 노이즈, 높은 해상도를 실현합니다.
