Sensor Training Kit is an introduction to the use of sensors, types of sensors and a teaching aid when studying control, manufacturing or automation applications. Sensors include infrared, capacitive, photoelectric, inductive, proximity, fibre optic and mechanical sensors. Sensor outputs are easily accessible via 4mm colour coded terminals on the front of the unit or via D-type connections and can be interfaced with a PLC or PC for sensor analysis and testing.
The Trainer kit comes with different types of materials steel, aluminium, foam, wood, plexiglass, abs plastic, and white abs plastic so that the student can compare the effectiveness of different types of sensors for different types of supplied materials. The student can evaluate the effectiveness of sensors when using different materials. Sensor range and suitability can be monitored, giving the student the ability to make recommendations for sensor selection in specific applications.
