Response time probably under a second is fine. Would also need to be small package size. I have tried a 1-5 mm capacitive proximity sensor but does not detect the film at all and assume because it is because it is very thin/semi-transparent?

    Looking for the next video on magnetic proximity sensors but can’t seem to find it. Can you share the link? Are magnetic proximity sensors primarily used for safety door interlocks? have a rectangular tray held in place with two magnetic arms (The two shorter sides of the rectangular tray sit on the two magnetic arms). There are cases when the tray can move upwards (away from the arms). Can a magnetic proximity sensor pointed at the top of the tray detect motion of the tray when it moves away from the magnetic arm momentarily? Thinking about mae-ap-1f

    • @automationdirect
      @automationdirect  ปีที่แล้ว

      Rakshith, You can find our sensor videos on this link: www.automationdirect.com/videos/home?t=link&cat1=26 You may only need an inductive proximity sensor to detect when the tray is in place and when it has been lifted away from the magnets. If the tray is made of ferrous metal (steel) an inductive proximity sensor will detect the trays presence or absence. Other factors would be round vs rectangular, voltage, and sensing range. If you need further assistance selecting a sensor, our free, award winning technical support can guide you with the selection. community.automationdirect.com/s/contactsupport

If you are looking for a way to sort dissimilar metals, there are a few different solutions and methods out there. I am not experienced in this field, but one article I read about can be found here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1631554/

    • @automationdirect
      @automationdirect  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Bryan, Inductive sensors really depend on the type of metal being detected so you could optimize what you are detecting to help a little bit. Other than that, there really isn't much you can do to increase the range other than buy an extended range inductive sensor.

    • @automationdirect
      @automationdirect  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi John, I wouldn't use a proximity sensor. They are typically too short range - you will want something that detects across the 20" hoop. And since ultra sonics are sensitive to vibration, the impact of the ball might mess those up too. Also, you didn't state if this basketball hoop was indoors or outdoors - that makes a big difference too. My preference would be a beam break optical sensor - possibly fiber-optic - but with out knowing more about your application I can't really define which one you would want to use. Please contact our free tech support - they will be happy to walk you through it.

      Capacitive and Ultrasonic sensors will both detect plastics. The distance of the mounted sensor from the detection target will determine which sensor style to choose. It would be best to contact our technical support or our community page for help selecting a sensor for your application. You can find the contact information on our page here: community.automationdirect.com/s/contactsupport

    • @automationdirect
      @automationdirect  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the comment, Richelle Park.
      A capacitive sensor will detect any object that meets it's sensing size and has a dielectric different than air. Since very few things have the same dielectric as air, I have always looked at a capacitive sensor, as the "everything and the kitchen sink" sensor. I have used this sensor, to sense all the objects that are in your list.
      The two factors that give a disadvantage to capacitive sensors, are the effect temperature and environmental changes has to the accuracy, and the last being that the overall accuracy is not as high as let's say inductive sensors. Now the technology around capacitive sensors, in years of late, have reduced these disadvantages greatly.
      I hope this has helped in your research. Have a great day!

    Great vid. Question; if trying to sense periphery, what is the best inductive sensor; or capacitive?

    • @automationdirect
      @automationdirect  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure I understand "periphery?" You want to sense something not directly in front of the sensor? If so, then you want an un-shielded or non-flush sensor. Capacitive vs inductive is more of a material decision - Inductive is for metal objects because it uses a magnetic field for detection. Capacitive uses an electric field so it can detect metal and non-metal objects.

      @Sk Sahadat Ali, if you are looking for distance measurement you are looking for something with an analog output. The things to keep in mind when specifying a distance measurement device, is the distance you will be measuring across, the material you are detecting and the type of output your device needs (ie. 4-20mA, 0-10VDC, 0-5VDC etc)

    • @automationdirect
      @automationdirect  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Abas jabr, thanks for the comment. That depends on a lot of factors. First you will need to know the material you are sensing, the speed at which it will be sensed and then the distance. The sensors used in this video will only provide a discrete output. You will need some type of Tachometer or other control system to calculate the RPM.

      Can the proximity sensor be turned into a metal detector? Inductive proximity sensors are designed to detect the presence of ferrous metals. Using them as a "metal detector" could possibly be achieved but will be limited to the sensing distance of the selected sensor.

      Go to www.automationdirect.com and search for "EVC". They are really cool because they come in a standard pig tail AND a Male & Female end so you can simply insert them between your sensor and regular cable to use as a diagnostic. And they are inexpensive ($12 - $18).
