Hi Guys, Any ideas on what sensor to get to detect the presence/absence of a tungsten wire with a diameter of 0.5mm?
Hi Guys, Any ideas on what sensor to get to detect the presence/absence of a tungsten wire with a diameter of 0.5mm?
Just to add more context. I am putting together a machine that bends tungsten wires into a specific shape. The wire is dispensed from a 5-10m roll. I am looking for a non contact sensor that would let me know when the wire is depleted.
Unfortunately due to safety reasons( and for the end application of the wire) as the machine is half way through with allowances for minor mods, I won't be able to apply any kind of voltage into it.
Would be glad to provide further information if need be. Thanks guys.
Alternative approaches:
Weight sensor on the spool so you know when it is depleted.
Some kind of counter / logic so you can estimate when the spool is getting low.
