FIELD: electricity.
SUBSTANCE: adaptive sensor for identification and control of articles position contains a sensitive plate, an inspection sensor for two types of articles, the first, second and third output terminals, a NEITHER-NOR gate, two AND gates, a trigger flip-flop, the first and second display units, an electric oscillation generator with respective electric couplings. When the sensitive plate is moved in regards to one article (e.g., heated metal article) or the other one (e.g., unheated non-metal article) potential signals for position control of these articles are generated at the first output terminal with logic level "1". At that at the second and third outputs two-digit binary code is generated which values of 10 and 01 are the identification codes for one or another inspected article. Data signals about identification of one or another type of the inspected articles in the form of visual signals are picked up from the first and second display units respectively. The adaptive sensor ensures automatic control for one or the other type of articles without mechanical contact with them and automatic adaption to the specific type of the inspected article.
EFFECT: expanding functionalities and improving operational performance.
