An industrial sensor is a device that measures and detects the changes in its environment, and then provides some type of output. Sensors are used in every part of life from the buttons that you push on an elevator to propulsion systems in space shuttles.

Machine safety in your manufacturing facility should not be an afterthought. “Things happen” and the safety and well-being of your valued workers should be paramount.

Motion is achieved by combining a servo motor with a servo amplifier (drive) and a controller. Controllers can be built into an amplifier, be part of a PLC, or be a stand-alone piece of equipment. The controller can be programed to track the number of rotations, or partial rotations, that the motor has made and correlate that into a distance measurement.

A PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller, is one of the most important automation inventions of all time. Created in 1968 and dubbed the Programmable Controller or PC (it was the first PC, long before the term Personal Computer had even been thought of) it revolutionized the way facilities were automated.

The term industrial robotics can suggest images: From machines manufacturing automobiles to humanoid characters from science fiction.
