High-resolution Capacitive Sensor has User-adjustable Setpoint

Need high precision in proximity sensing?The setpoint of Lion Precision’s CPA100 capacitive sensor can be adjusted to detect presence/absence with 15 nm RMS (150 nm p-p) resolution. Industrial processing applications of the analog ouptut sensor include: production line part sorting, double sheet detection in printers or related processes and monitoring of processes involving nonconductive materials.

The sensor’s front panel has a range indicator to alert the operator to out-of-range conditions, DIN railmount electronics, and user adjustments for Offset (Zero) and Gain. Sensor probes are available in standard measurement ranges from 0.05 to 6 mm.

The Object of Pepperl+Fuchs Newest Photoelectric Sensors is Clear

That is clear object detection. GLV18 Series photoelectric sensors with Clear Object Detection use reflectors to detect transparent objects up to 2.5 m away, or opaque objects up to 5 m away.

Offered in an industry-standard M18 threaded cylindrical housing, the sensor is up to 50% shorter. In addition, the company claims the power consumption is 50% less than many competitive models. 

The sensors can detect clear shrink-wrap webs or semi-transparent trays or cartons in material handling applications as well as the presence detection of clear clamshells, bottles, or pouch webstock in packaging applications.
