Core Component Breakdow

• Oscillator: Generates a localized, alternating high-frequency electromagnetic field at the sensing surface.
• Switch Circuit: Detects amplitude changes when a metal object enters the field and induces eddy currents.
• Amplified Output Circuit: Converts internal amplitude drops into a distinct digital switching signal (NPN output). 

• Positioning: Component orientation checking on conveyor belts and packaging lines.
• Counting: Non-contact piece counting of metallic components.
• Safety & Limits: Serving as electronic limit switches on robotics platforms and machine axes.
