What is a capacitive sensor? A capacitive sensor is a switch that has no moving parts. They are used in industrial production and industrial automation applications to detect the position, presence, or level of all types of products. How do capacitive sensors work? Capacitive sensors work by measuring the dielectric of the material around the...Read More
Capacitive sensors work by measuring the dielectric of the material around the sensor. This dielectric value increases both when there is more material in front of the sensor and the closer that the material gets to the sensor. This means that capacitive sensors work differently than inductive proximity sensors. Capacitive sensors can detect virtually any...Read More
