I crafted a custom sensor holder for my trusty Fotek Inductive Proximity Sensor PL-05N NPN, designed to provide precise and reliable detection. The adjustable height feature allows me to fine-tune the sensor's position for optimal performance. Here is how I brought this innovative design to life: First, I carefully selected the materials needed to create a sturdy yet lightweight holder that would securely support the sensor. I chose a high-quality plastic rod with a smooth finish to ensure smooth movement and minimize wear on the sensor. Next, I designed an adjustable mechanism using a robust nut and bolt system that allows me to adjust the height of the sensor with ease. This feature is essential for applications where the sensor needs to be positioned at varying heights or angles. To attach the sensor holder to my desired surface, I integrated a secure mounting system consisting of a sturdy bracket and screw. This ensures a rock-solid hold, eliminating any risk of the sensor coming loose over time. The final step was to add a protective casing around the sensor itself, providing an additional layer of protection against dust and debris that could interfere with its operation. With this thoughtful design, I've been able to achieve accurate and reliable detection every time. This custom-made holder has proven to be an indispensable tool in my workshop, allowing me to focus on more complex tasks while knowing that my sensor is working seamlessly in the background.
