Capacitive sensors especially for the plastics industry.
 
 

 
 Capacitive sensors for detecting granulates.
  • Easy adjustment in the application by pressing a pushbutton.
  • Automatic detection of PNP or NPN output loads.
  • Normally open / normally closed freely selectable.
  • Clearly visible indication of the switching status.
  • Resistant to electrostatic discharge.

Application
Wherever plastic granulates are conveyed and processed, capacitive sensors monitor the levels in pipes and in silos or through sight glasses in loaders on injection moulding machines. The sensor must reliably detect a wide range of different plastics.

Set-up
The new operating concept enables setting and adjustment of the output function by pressing a pushbutton. Automatic detection of the load simplifies the connection to common controllers.

Applications
Detection of plastic granulates and bulk material through non-metallic vessel walls.
