Capacitive sensors for point level detection offer a reliable and efficient solution for monitoring liquid and bulk material levels in industrial environments. Designed to detect through non-metallic vessel walls, these sensors eliminate the need for direct contact with the medium, ensuring hygienic and maintenance-free operation. They are widely used in industries such as food processing, chemicals, plastics, and semiconductors.
Key Features
- Non-contact detection through plastic, glass, or non-metal walls
- Pushbutton and IO-Link configuration for flexible setup
- Automatic PNP/NPN load detection for simplified integration
- Clearly visible switching status indication
- Available in normally open and normally closed variants
Application
These capacitive level sensors are ideal for detecting minimum fill levels, preventing tank overflow, and identifying leakage conditions. They are commonly applied in storage tanks, pipelines, and bypass systems handling liquids or bulk materials. Industries such as wood, paper, glass, and food processing benefit from their precision and reliability.
Design & Functionality
The sensor operates by detecting changes in capacitance caused by the presence of materials. This allows accurate sensing even through non-metal barriers. With user-friendly pushbutton configuration or IO-Link integration, operators can easily adjust parameters and monitor performance digitally using advanced software tools.
