There are several principles to detect material, inductive, capacitive, magnetic or photo sensors:
- Capacitive sensors are non-contact devices, which can detect the position of any conductive target.
- Inductive sensors are non-contact devices, which can detect the position of metallic targets.
- Magnetic sensors are non-contact devices, which can detect the position of magnetic targets.
- Photoelectric sensors are non-contact devices, which can detect the position of solid or reflective targets.
