Cross Automation Sensor Overview

Overview: This application note is to make everyone aware of the different sensor lines that Cross Automation represents and give a breakdown of the different areas each line represents.
Application Objectives
  • Provide a document that can be used by FAM’s, ISR’s, AE’s, FAE’s and customers that will help someone understand what sensor lines we carry and will be a quick reference tool when determining which product to use.
  • Provide a breakdown of each of the sensor manufacturers that Cross Automation represents into what products are in their sensor line
Application Challenges to Consider
  • What is the target we are looking to sense and its characteristics?
  • How far away from the target do we need to be?
  • What kind of resolution does the application require?
  • Is the physical size of the sensor critical?
  • What type of output do you need from the sensor?
  • What is the environment the sensor will be in?
Testing for a Solution
  • Try to get a sample of the product. (i.e. good part, bad part)
  • Help customer understand we have several different sensors from several lines that we use in our lab for testing. (unless they have a particular line they prefer)
Customer Benefits
  • Several different lines to pull information and solutions from.
  • Have application solved for them by an engineer.
  • Cross Automation can solve just about any sensing application because of the product offering.
  • We currently offer a Sensor Technology Seminar free of charge.
