Function and benefit When a target object enters the sensing field, the capacitive switch outputs a control signal for reliable, noncontact actuation. Detection capability Capacitive sensing detects a wide range of materials, not limited to conductors. It can sense liquids and nonconductive items such as plastic, water, glass, oil, and similar substances. Why customers need it Noncontact switching reduces wear and maintenance compared with mechanical switches. Versatile detection across materials simplifies design by covering multiple use cases with a single device. Suitable for automatic control systems that require sensing, controlling, and noncontact switching. Key attributes Function: outputs a control signal upon object detection in the sensing field. Compatibility: designed for integration with standard automation and control circuits. Size: compact form factor for easy installation in tight spaces. Material and construction: robust capacitive sensing element optimized for industrial environments. Performance: reliable noncontact detection across a variety of materials. Use scenarios Conveyor line automation: detect the presence of parts or packages and trigger downstream actuators. Packaging and processing: sense liquids or nonmetal containers without direct contact, improving hygiene and safety. Touchless control interfaces: enable machine panels or access doors to operate without physical contact in manufacturing environments.
