Like the Sharp it’s more of a proximity sensor than a distance sensor. Adafruit’s testers found it worked best at around 10 mm to around 150 mm, or around 7.5″ and under.

Aerospace supplier TransDigm Group said on Monday it will acquire Simmonds Precision Products from defense contractor RTX ...

The proximity sensor is located at the end of the gun’s muzzle and when it detects a Nerf dart passing by it reduces the ammo count by one. Blu-tack is used to hold everything in place, ...

Proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of objects using electromagnetic fields, light and sound. There are many types , each suited to specific applications and environments.

Laser Distance Sensors; Infrared Distance Sensors; Time of Flight (ToF) Sensors; Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor is a very effective sensor for range-finding and distance sensing as it emits light rather ...

TransDigm Group Inc. (NYSE: TDG) of Cleveland said it has agreed to buy the Simmonds Precision Products business of Goodrich ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

A highly accurate laser distance sensor, the AS2100 is designed to work well outdoors, in bright lights, and even on difficult hot or dark surfaces. It provides superior accuracy at long range.

Leddar, short for LED Detection and Ranging, is a new type of detection and ranging sensor that uses LEDs to detect objects and determine their distance. While the Leddar is low resolution, it is ...

The proximity sensor can malfunction due to obstruction by a phone case, dirt or grime, or a software issue. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.
