Product Profile of Capacitive Proximity Sensors
SICK - one of the world`s leading producers of sensors and sensor solutions for industrial applications. SICK is a technology and market leader in both Factory Automation and Process Automation. The sick product range includes Capacitive proximity sensors.
Capacitive proximity sensors are able to detect both non-metallic as well as metallic objects. The larger the dielectric constant of the object, the larger is the sensing range of the sensor. Capacitive proximity sensors can for example be used in the following applications:
Level control
Presence control
level control of bulk solids
Final inspection of packaging procedures
