capacitive prox sensor
The capacitive prox sensor is a very complex piece of equipment developed to detect material presence or absence according to changes in its capacitance. It incorporates a electrical circuit to measure the properties of target material, and a detection plate. It allows for too-near proximity of the detected object, is ideal in auxiliary applications where non-contact sensing required. Technological features include auto-tuning abilities that adapt in response to changes in environmental conditions, as well as a design that resists dust, water and extreme temperatures without affecting results. Commonly used applications are to be found throughout industry from industrial automation and robotics all the way down to everyday consumer products where precision and reliability are the key.
