Function - Triggers a control signal when a target object comes within the sensing range of the proximity sensor. What it does - Non-contact detection: a widely used component in automatic control for detection, control, and switching without physical contact. Material and target compatibility - Capacitive proximity switch that can sense a range of targets not limited to conductors. It can detect liquids and powders, including plastics and glass, making it versatile for various materials. Benefits and why you need it - Reduces wear and maintenance by avoiding physical contact with targets. - Enables reliable, fast switching for automation lines across diverse materials. - Broad material compatibility expands its use across different applications and industries. Key attributes to consider - Function: capacitive proximity sensing and non-contact control signal triggering. - Compatibility: suitable for detecting conductors, liquids, and powders such as plastic and glass. - Size and housing: available in multiple models; specific dimensions and housing materials vary by model (refer to the product datasheet for exact details). - Performance: provides quick and reliable triggering of the control signal in non-contact detections. 2-3 practical use scenarios - Packaging and bottling lines: detect the presence of plastic or glass containers to initiate downstream operations such as filling, capping, or labeling without contacting the containers. - Liquid level or presence detection: monitor the presence or level of liquids in tanks or vessels where non-contact sensing is advantageous to avoid contamination. - Powder or granular material handling: detect presence or flow of powders and granules in hoppers or bins, enabling process control without direct contact with the material. Notes - Ensure proper mounting and alignment within the specified sensing range for consistent performance. - Consult the specific model datasheet for exact dimensions, housing material, and electrical characteristics to ensure proper compatibility with your control system.
