Omega Proximity Sensors
Omega proximity sensors deliver reliable proximity sensing in applications where accuracy, repeatability and longevity are critical. Proximity sensors are used widely in manufacturing, automation, materials handling, test/measurement and other equipment and are well suited for numerous requirements in the laboratory, process control and industrial arena. Omega proximity sensors sense position, presence or movement while using active sensing area instead of a mechanical contact to detect targets.
Proximity sensors from Omega are available in inductive and capacitive sensors types. Inductive proximity sensors detect metal objects such as steel, aluminum, stainless steel, brass and other conductive materials. Applications include machinery positioning, tool setting, end-of-travel sensing or part detection. Capacitive proximity sensors can sense non-metallic objects and materials such as plastic, powders, liquids and bulk materials. Applications range from counting and product detection to fluid level or hopper level measurement.
Omega proximity sensors are built for reliable industrial performance and feature rugged housings. Sensors are manufactured to provide dependable, repeatable performance in real-world industrial settings – many models are vibration and noise immune, suitable for extended temperature operation and are rated for continuous-duty or long-term cycles. Omega proximity sensors are easy to install and integrate with PLCs and other controls or measurement equipment using standard industry level outputs.
