Proximity switches work by generating a field (electric, magnetic, or optical) around the sensor, and when an object enters or exits this field, the switch responds by either opening or closing an electrical circuit. Proximity switches are widely used in industrial automation, manufacturing, automotive, and robotics. They are valuable for tasks like object detection, position sensing, counting, and automation control. Inductive proximity switches use an electromagnetic field to detect the presence of metallic objects. When a metal object comes into proximity, it disrupts the field, causing the switch to trigger and change its electrical state.
