Functional principle
Many applications require a fast detection of material qualities. For example, the sorting of beverage cans made of aluminium or tin, or the differentiation of pipes made of different metals. Turck has developed an analog inductive sensor for this purpose that not only processes the amplitude signal but also the phase signal. Both signals are output as analog values and processed mathematically with a control unit. Different metals are thus detected independent of the distance.
