Function and operation Proximity switch detects when a target object comes within its sensing range and outputs a control signal. It provides noncontact switching, suitable for automatic control applications. Why customers need it Enables reliable detection and control without physical contact, reducing wear and maintenance in moving parts. Versatile sensing capability that covers a wide range of target materials. Key features and performance Capacitive type proximity switch with target compatibility beyond conductors. Detects nonmetallic targets including liquids and powders, and is effective with items such as plastic, water, glass, and oil. Designed for integration into standard automatic control systems that require sensing and signaling without physical contact. Compatibility and versatility Suitable for applications where noncontact switching and detection of diverse materials are required. Can be used in processes that involve liquids, powders, plastics, and other nonconductor items. Size, material, and model considerations Size, mounting style, and materials vary by model; refer to the specific product datasheet for exact parameters. Performance and sensing ranges are model dependent; confirm target compatibility for your application. Practical use scenarios (23 examples) Liquid level or presence detection in tanks or vessels where nonconductive liquids are used, such as water or oil, to trigger process controls. Detection of nonmetallic packaging or containers on a production line, enabling automated handling or sorting of plastics or glass. Monitoring powder or granular materials on a processing or filling line to initiate nextstage control actions. Summary A capacitive proximity switch designed for noncontact detection and control in automatic control systems. Broad target compatibility including liquids and powders plus common solids like plastic and glass. Outputs a control signal when a target approaches, supporting reliable and maintenancefriendly automation.
