From inspecting jars through a cardboard box to sensing ammonia in a vat - capacitive sensors are made for these applications. In addition, capacitive sensors have the ability to sense most materials including wood, plastics, cardboard, glass, grain, all metals and most fluids. The versatility of these sensors can help you save time and run more efficiently.Many applications require adjusting the sensitivity of the capacitive sensor in order to reliably detect the target material. Although the potentiometer is factory set for an operating distance of 0.7 to 0.8 times the rated operating distance, it can be easily changed.Most Turck capacitive sensors are listed as embeddable. By increasing the sensitivity, the embeddable sensor can be changed into a non-embeddable version with enhanced sensing capabilities.
