Function Outputs a control signal when an object enters the sensing range. Detection capability Capacitive switch with detection not limited to metals. Detects a wide range of materials including liquids and nonmetallic solids such as plastic, water, glass, and oil. Industry and usage Widely used in automatic control systems for detecting, controlling, and enabling noncontact switching. Key attributes Noncontact operation for sensing without physical contact. Designed for integration into automatic control environments. Broad material compatibility for diverse applications. Use scenarios Presence detection on a conveyor line to trigger downstream automation without touching the product. Noncontact switching in packaging or processing lines where contact sensors are undesirable. Detection of nonmetallic components or liquids in automated processes to control equipment accordingly.
