Festo SMT-8M-A Sensor

The sensor, also known as measuring probe, detector or proximity switch, with the type number SMT-8M-A from Festo, is an electrical component from the category of proximity sensors for contactless detection of objects or states. It has the dimensions 20 x 20 x 5 cm and weighs 0.1 kg. Proximity sensors detect objects or changes in their environment without contact, thus enabling precise positioning, presence detection and counting tasks. Typical applications can be found in automation technology, for example for controlling conveyor belts, in robotics for object detection or in machine tools for end position control.
