1.2 Common Applications

As a result of the benefits of inductive sensing, there are many applications that can be optimized with the addition of inductive metal detection. Immunity against dust and dirt makes inductive sensing a robust choice for household appliances or power tools that may be exposed to grease and other contaminants.

The following is an abbreviated list of applications in which inductive metal detection can be used:

  • Spring compression detection
  • Grip detection in power tools
  • Stove top
  • Rangehood display panels
  • Pipe detection
  • ATM interfaces
