proximity detectors Flashcards
Proximity detectors
light detectors
heat detectors
metal detectors
most proximity detectors will easily detect
iron (ferrous metal)
all metal detectors operate at
radio frequencies
a common ferrous metal is
Iron
with an all metal detector, a ferrous metal can be sensed at
3 times the distance the distance of a non-ferrou metal
with proximity detectors , sensors should be mounted
as far away from each other as possible
a proximity detector that can detect non metallic objects usually operates on a change in
capacitance
most capacitive proximity detectors have a rnge of approximately
25 mm
most capacitive proximity detectorss can sense the presence of
wood
copper
brass
ultransonic detectors admit a
high frequency sound
mosr ultransonic detectors have a wide range of adjustable
sensing distances
proximity detectors are basically
metal detectors
emitting a pulse of high frequency sound and then detecting the echo when it bounces off an object is achieved by using a
ultransonic detector
