What is 'Sick Sensors'?

We are a High Quality Sick Sensors Suppliers in Mumbai, Gujarat, India. SICK is an industrial automation company that engineers and produces sensors. Their capacitive proximity sensors are used for the application of object detection and fill level application. These are very durable and precise and reliable in detecting objects of any material such as powder, liquid, or solid even from plastics or glass nonmetallic surfaces.

Capacitive Proximity Sensors

What are Capacitive Proximity Sensors?

Capacitive proximity sensors are used for object detection and fill-level detection in many industrial applications. The capacitive proximity sensors can detect powdery, granulated, liquid, and solid materials even through non-metallic surfaces such as plastic or glass. The high shock and vibration resistance as well as reduced sensitivity to dust and moisture due to the use of the SICK CM series capacitive proximity sensors as well as enhanced electromagnetic compatibility to avoid switching errors characterize these devices.

Main Characteristics of Capacitive Proximity Sensors

  • Robust Design: It can be obtained with several models, such as CM12, CM18, and CM30 with cylindrical thread designs for convenient mounting.
  • High Electromagnetic Compatibility: The sensor has a rugged design which can easily function in electromagnetic interference-rich environments without reliable detection.
  • Detecting Objects Behind/Through Surfaces: The sensor can detect objects behind walls, in containers, or storage units
  • Easy Installation: The sensitivity of the sensor can be regulated by adjusting the potentiometer or by using a teach-in button for rapid commissioning.
  • Durable Construction: Fully chemical-resistant construction with FDA compliance, the CM18 PTFE model will be one suitable for the food industry.

Key Specifications of CM Series Sensors:

  • Range of Measurement: CM12: till 8 mm; CM18: 8 - 12 mm; CM30: 16 - 25 mm
  • Enclosure Ratings: IP67, IP68, IP69K Dustproof and moisture-proof, resistant to high-pressure cleaning.
