2. DEFINATION
 Proximity sensors detect the presence of objects without physical
contact. Since 1983 Fargo Controls’ proximity sensors have been of the
highest quality, durability & repeatability to meet today's tough industrial
requirements.
 Typical applications include the detection, position, inspection and
counting on automated machines and manufacturing systems. They are
also used in the following machinery: packaging, production, printing,
plastic moulding, metal working, food processing, etc.
 Inductive proximity sensors are electronic device that detect metal object.

11. Eddy current
 Eddy currents are electric currents induced
within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the
conductor
 These circulating eddies of current have inductance and
thus induce magnetic fields.
