Description

Inductive proximity sensors represent a category of non-contact detection devices engineered to identify the presence or absence of metallic targets through electromagnetic interactions, eliminating the need for direct physical engagement. Serving as critical components in industrial environments, these sensors are integral to automation processes, robotic operations, assembly line management, and material conveyance systems. This article examines the operational mechanisms underpinning inductive proximity sensors, explores their diverse classifications, and evaluates their deployment across multiple industrial sectors.
