Capacitive
Proxistor is a specialist manufacturer of capacitive switches & sensors.
Proxistor capacitives produce an electric field with which they detect electrically conducting or non-conducting materials, solids particles or liquids, without making contact. Target detection is not affected by colour. Almost all Proxistor capacitives feature adjustable sensitivity allowing them to be set-up to differentiate between materials or compensate for varying mounting conditions.
Typical Applications
- Non invasive contents detection through non metallic containers.
- Level detection of solids, granules, powders or liquids.
- e.g. for filling applications, hopper loaders, silos, tubes, pipes, confectionery, foodstuffs, or inks.
- Plastic materials level detection for loading systems.
- click here for examples of detection of granules, powders, regrind and particulate, through non metallic containers, in filling, hoppers & tubes.
- Moisture content, wet spot detection.
- Bottle counting with or without contents detection.
- Packaging counting.
- Band loop control, breakage indication.
- Use as non contact switches.
We want to solve your sensing problems and will consider "specials" if our standard sensors do not provide a solution.
