With the ability to print metal structures with complex shapes and unique mechanical properties, metal additive manufacturing (AM) could be revolutionary. However, without a better understanding of ...

In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

The monitoring of rotation can involve such sensor types as proximity, photoelectric, resolvers, encoders, and tachometer generators. Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position ...

What’s the difference between a transmitter and a sensor? Nine different types of sensor transmitters. How does each type of transmitter work? What are the components of each transmitter type? Sensors ...

Fig. 1. Strip-type deformation sensors. One ply of cured carbon fiber/epoxy prepreg to be monitored is used as a thin, flexible sheet with optical fibers — one embedded in the upper surface and one in ...
