A
proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects
without any physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic
field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation, and looks for changes in the
field or return signal. "Proximity
Sensor" includes all sensors that perform non-contact detection in
comparison to sensors, such as limit switches, that detect objects by
physically contacting them. Proximity Sensors convert information on the
movement or presence of an object into an electrical signal. CityTech BD
It is a component widely used in automatic control industry for detecting, controlling, and noncontact switching. When proximity switch is close to some target object, it will send out control signal. It's widely used in machine, paper making, light industry for limiting station, orientation taking count, speeding trial ect. CityTech BD
