Capacitive proximity sensors

Representative Image Only

These electronic sensors are actuated when any object (glass, grains, and even liquids) enter their sensitive area, changing its logical status.

They are sensors similar to inductive proximity sensors, but with a different operation principle, which is based on the change of the capacitance of the detecting board located in the area called sensitive face.

About this Product

Operation

These electronic sensors are actuated when any object (glass, grains, and even liquids) enter their sensitive area, changing its logical status.

Applications

They are widely used to detect metallic or non-metallic objects, such as wood, cardboard, ceramic, glass, plastic, aluminum, laminates or pellets, mineral powders like talcum, cement, clay, etc.

Liquids in general are excellent actuators for capacitive sensors, regardless of conductivity, viscosity or color. Therefore, excellent control systems for maximum and minimum levels of solids or liquids are obtained by installing one or more sensors, no matter if totally immersed in the product.

Even for other detection purposes, such as the counting of bottles, boxes, packages or parts, the capacitive sensor with "T" sensitiveness setting is extremely versatile, solving challenging automation problems difficult to handle with conventional systems. For more convenience of application, we offer a PSN power supply suitable for operation with capacitive sensors.
