When working with applications in spindles, grippers, and robotics, space is typically very tight. Unfortunately, that fact doesn’t eliminate the need for automation. If anything, it increases it. These ever-shrinking spaces can create enormous stresses on standard proximity sensors. As a result, manufacturers and users of automated machinery are always requesting greater miniaturization and higher […]
