Designed with a very flat housing and versatile mounting frame, this capacitive sensor requires less space than photoelectric or ultrasonic sensors and can be countersunk flush for easy integration into machines and facilities. Measuring just 6 mm high, the sensor can be directly attached to a work surface or set into a mounting frame that allows easy snap-in-place installation and removal. The frame can be installed with screws, cable ties, Velcro fasteners or glue, and allows the sensor to be removed easily and re-installed into another mounting frame with no tools required. Five fixed sensing distances from 2 to 15 mm eliminate the need for a potentiometer. For chemical resistance the housing is made of Polyamid 12. Suggested applications include detecting wafers and PCBs on electronic production lines, liquid level detection in laboratory processing, and object detection in printing and packaging machines.
