Capacitive Sensors
Capacitive proximity switches detect conductive and non-conductive materials that can be in a solid or liquid state. They serve the purpose of monitoring product levels in containers, checking contents in filling and packaging systems as well as detecting, positioning, monitoring and counting objects, e.g. in sequence control systems, conveyor belts.
Used for detecting media such as:
solid:
- wood
- ceramic
- glass
- paper stacks
- plastic
- stone
- rubber
- ice
- nonferrous metals
- potatoes
powder:
- dyes
- detergents
- sand
- cement
- fertilizer
- salt
- sugar
