Overview

When you need to know what is hidden behind a surface – a wall, a storage container, shipping container, or behind a cover capacitive proximity sensors are the solution. From solid materials like paper or wood, to granulates or liquids, the status of the product can be reliably detected during the production process and on final inspection. Is there something behind that cover? Is the filled package really full? How much paint is still left in the tank? For capacitive sensors, these are easy questions to answer. SICK’s capacitive sensors are never far from the action. Sensing ranges up to 25 mm allow them to be used in nearly all installation situations, making them extremely adaptable for a wide range of applications. These sensors are also remarkably resistant to malfunctions. Impurities, contamination, dust, and airborne spray particles have little effect on them, nor does electromagnetic interference. No wonder they are installed in a wide range of industries, such as food, automotive or in handling and warehousing systems.
