Position & Proximity Sensors

Position and proximity sensors are devices used in automation and control systems to detect the position or presence of objects. Position sensors determine the precise location of an object relative to a reference point, utilizing technologies like encoders or potentiometers. Proximity sensors, on the other hand, detect the presence or absence of an object without physical contact, employing methods such as infrared, ultrasonic, or capacitive sensing. These sensors play a crucial role in diverse applications, from robotics and manufacturing to automotive systems, enabling accurate feedback and facilitating automated processes by providing real-time information about object location and proximity.
