proximity switch(English:proximity sensor) also calledproximity sensor, is a sensor that can detect the presence of nearby objects without contact.
Proximity sensors typically function by emitting an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation (such as infrared) and observing changes in the electric field or return signal. The object that can be detected is called the target of the proximity switch. Different types of proximity switches have different objectives, such as capacitive proximity switches orPhotoelectric switchPossible to detect plastic targets, whileInductive proximity switchCan only detect metal targets.
Sensors have a "nominal range" defined by their design, the maximum distance they can detect. Some sensors have the ability to adjust within the nominal range and to report the detection distance classification.
Therefore, the proximity switch has no mechanical parts, and there is no physical contact between the sensor and the object being sensed, resulting in high reliability and long service life.
Smartphones or similar mobile devices are often equipped with proximity switches. The device can wake up from sleep mode when a target is present within the nominal range. If the proximity sensor's target persists, the device can also ignore it and go back to sleep. A common design is that when using a smartphone to make a call, the proximity switch will detect the presence of the target and treat it as if it is placed in the ear, at which point the touchscreen will be temporarily turned off to avoid accidental operation.[1]Proximity sensors are also used for vibration monitoring of some mechanical devices.
Proximity switches tuned to ultra-short distances can also be used as atact switch.

Proximity switches, including those produced by Autonics, have a wide range of applications in various industries due to their ability to detect the presence of an object without making physical contact. Here are some common applications for proximity switches:
Automotive industry:
Proximity switches are used in vehicle assembly lines to detect the presence of parts, control processes and ensure precise positioning of components.
Manufacturing and assembly:
Proximity switches are used in automated manufacturing and assembly lines to monitor the position of workpieces, control conveyor systems and detect the presence of objects for precise processing.
Packaging industry:
Proximity switches play a vital role in packaging machinery, detecting the presence of packaging materials, accurately controlling the movement of packaging components, and ensuring correct product packaging.
Material handling:
Proximity switches are used in material handling equipment such as conveyor systems, elevators, and automated guided vehicles to detect the presence of objects, control material flow, and prevent collisions.
robot technology:
Proximity switches are integrated into robotic systems to provide feedback on the position of robotic arms, grippers and end effectors, ensuring safe and accurate operation.
Machine Tools:
Proximity switches are used in machine tools to monitor workpiece position, control tool positioning and provide feedback for automated machining processes.
These are just a few examples of the many applications for proximity switches. Their versatility and reliability make them an essential part of modern industrial automation processes.
