Applications
PRESENTATION ON INDUSTRIAL AND
TECHNOLOGICAL SENSORS

Student: Roberto Valverde Castro


What Are Sensors?
• Devices that detect and respond to physical or chemical stimuli.
• Convert these stimuli into electrical signals.
• Widely used in industrial, technological, and consumer applications.
Digital Sensors
• Measure binary signals (0 or 1).
• Examples: on/off switches,
digital accelerometers.
• Application: presence or
absence detection.
Accelerometer Sensors
• Measure static and dynamic
acceleration.
• Applications: navigation,
vibration and movement
control.
• Examples: sensors in
smartphones, stability systems.
Gyroscope Sensors
• Measure angular velocity and
orientation.
• Use principles of angular
momentum.
• Applications: video games,
camera stabilization, flight
control.
Temperature Sensors
• Detect and measure
temperature in solids, liquids, or
gases.
• Types: contact and non-contact
sensors.
• Applications: home appliances,
heating systems, aeronautics.
Vision and Imaging Sensors
• Detect objects and colors within
their field of view.
• Convert images into digital
signals.
• Applications: quality control,
object recognition, visual
reconstruction.
Radiation Sensors
• Detect radiation like gamma rays
and X-rays.
• Applications: radiation
protection, industrial
measurements.
Position Sensors
• Detect the position of an object
(linear, rotational, or angular).
• Types: capacitive, inductive
sensors.
• Applications: displacement
measurement, motor control
systems.
CONCLUSION
Sensors are essential for monitoring and
control in many industries.
Each type of sensor has specific
applications based on its characteristics.
Technological advancements improve
sensor precision and efficiency.
