motion sensing inductive proximity switch
motion sensing inductive proximity switch
(OP)
Looking for help locating a source for motion sensing inductive proximity switch. This will detect when a object has stopped or has dropped to a very slow speed. Have had some info in a Telemecanique brand. I have had no luck with a source.
Thanks
Roy.

You don't say what country you're in for that matter.
Are you looking for a "smart" sensor or a basic sensor to be used with your own controller and logic for delays etc.? (An inductive sensor doesn't only detect moving objects)
What precisely will you be sensing? At what distance? How quickly? What current and voltage are your control circuits? How many sensors will you need?

I wil travel from 1/8" when it will sence to about 1" where it will break sence. I want to sence a bolt head.
Hope this helps.

You are right 30 million meters are different from
30M which is a pure number.
( m=milli, M=Mega !!!!)

To sense the stopping, you have to differentiate the
position signal and sense its zero crossing -
And zero can't be accuratelly sensed.
Differentiation amplifies the noise, so it would be nice
to ubderstand what you are trying to do.

The actual movement itself is not something sensed directly by a prox switch, it is typically determined by how long the target is sensed in a given location, or moves past multiple points. The older Banner photocells spring to mind as sensors that could be fitted with various different modules to in effect provide embeded logic. There are tons of similar sorts of sensors, and perhaps this is what you're looking for, or assuming is just a part of a proximity sensor. Personally I've usually kept controls and logic "in the cabinet" as opposed to having to do changes and adjustments to settings at the sensor itself.
