housing, designed to detect a wide variety of materials including metals, plastics, liquids, powders, and granular substances. Unlike inductive sensors that detect only metal objects, capacitive sensors respond to changes in capacitance when any material enters the sensing field. This makes the C12 Series suitable for applications such as material presence detection, level sensing, packaging inspection, and automation processes.
The sensors feature a compact thermoplastic polyester housing with IP67 protection, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. The C12 Series supports both flush and non flush mounting configurations, with sensing distances up to 8 mm depending on the installation type. Adjustable sensitivity allows the sensor to be tuned according to different materials and installation conditions, while PNP or NPN outputs with NO or NC switching provide easy integration with PLC and industrial control systems.
