Looking to make object detection easy? You'll never miss a trick with the help of this proximity sensor from Festo. A Hall effect sensor like this one works by measuring changes in an electromagnetic field caused by its built-in magnet. As it converts this data into electrical signals that feedback to your systems, you can use it to reliably detect metallic and non-metallic objects. You also won't need to calibrate it to get started because it detects existing magnetic fields intuitively, so installation is a breeze. The unit's non-contact operation makes it a practical choice for applications that involve delicate items. Turn to it when you need a durable sensing option that offers a long service life.
