SENSORS
Requirements of a sensor, Principles and Applications of
the following types of sensors – Position of sensors
(Piezo Electric Sensor, LVDT, Resolvers, Optical
Encoders, Pneumatic Position Sensors), Range Sensors
(Triangulation Principle, Structured, Lighting Approach,
Time of Flight Range Finders, Laser Range Meters),
Proximity Sensors (Inductive, Hall Effect, Capacitive,
Ultrasonic and Optical Proximity Sensors), Touch
Sensors, (Binary Sensors, Analog Sensors), Wrist
Sensors, Compliance Sensors, Slip Sensors.
MACHINE VISION
• Camera, Frame Grabber, Sensing and Digitizing
Image Data – Signal Conversion, Image
Storage, Lighting Techniques. Image
Processing and Analysis – Data Reduction:
Edge detection, Segmentation Feature
Extraction and Object Recognition -
Algorithms. Applications – Inspection,
Identification, Visual Serving and Navigation.
working principle of Range sensors
In this way, every point, the same column in the image will
be known to have the same distance to the reference plane.
Proximity sensors.
• The output of the proximity sensors gives an
indication of the presence of an object with in the
vicinity job operation
• In robotics these sensors are used to generate
information of object grasping and obstacle
avoidance.
• Proximity sensor is a sensor, which senses the
presence or absence of the object without having
physical contact between the objects.
Inductive Proximity Sensors
• The ferromagnetic material brought close to this type of sensor results in
change in position of the flux lines of the permanent magnet leading to
change in inductance of the coil. The induced current pulse in the coil with
change in amplitude and shape is proportional to rate of change of flux
line in magnet.
Inductive Proximity Sensors
Construction:
The proximity inductive sensor basically consists of a wound coil
located in front of a permanent magnet encased inside a rugged
housing. The lead from the coil, embedded in resin is connected
to the display through a connector.
