Miniature capacitive sensor
29 September 2014
SICK UK has launched a versatile miniature capacitive proximity sensor with the capability to perform a wealth of non-contact sensing tasks in printing applications for example for ink fill level sensing in printing machines.
The CQ4 has a rapid switching frequency up to 100 Hz and a sensing range of up to 8mm, making it suitable for high-speed object detection through non-metallic surfaces.
The sensor is contained in a 39.5 x 12 x16mm highly-durable fibreglass mounting with IP67 protection and the integral metal fastening threads ensure secure connection under industrial use conditions. With rapid 100Hz switching, it is able to provide real time detection to match application changes for precise production control and feedback.
