This document discusses proximity sensors. A proximity sensor can detect nearby objects without physical contact by emitting an electromagnetic field or beam and detecting changes in the field or return signal. Different proximity sensors are suitable for different targets, such as capacitive or photoelectric sensors for plastic and inductive sensors requiring a metal target.

t is a Proximity Sensor
roximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the
sence of nearby objects without any physical tact roximity sensor often emits electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic iation (infrared, for instance), and looks for changes he field or return signal. e object being sensed is often referred to as the ximity sensor's target. erent proximity sensor targets demand different sors. example, a capacitive or photoelectric sensor might uitable for a plastic target; an inductive proximity sor always requires a metal target.
