What Are the Applications of Sensor Technology in Electromechanical Automation Control?

Sensor technology is widely used in electromechanical automation control. Common application areas include:

Temperature sensors: measure surface or ambient temperature and are used in temperature control and monitoring systems, HVAC, etc.

Pressure sensors: measure liquid or gas pressure and are used in level control, pneumatic systems, and hydraulic systems.

Position sensors: detect position and displacement and are used in machine tool control, automated garages, and access control systems.

Photoelectric sensors: detect object presence and light intensity, used in automatic lighting, robot vision, and production lines.

Accelerometers: measure acceleration and vibration, used in vehicle safety, robot control, and elevator safety systems.

Gas sensors: detect harmful gases or chemicals in the air and are used in environmental and air quality monitoring.

Water quality sensors: detect pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, etc., used in water treatment and environmental monitoring.

Level sensors: measure liquid level or height and are used in tanks and the petrochemical industry.

Touch sensors: detect touch position and pressure, used in smart homes and robot control.

These sensor applications improve automation efficiency and precision, reduce manual intervention, and lower production costs and environmental impact.
