Even functions reliable in harsh industrial environments, which reduces machine maintenance costs and downtimes
Quick and easy adjustment can be made via the potentiometer or teach button to save valuable time during commissioning
Highly flexible range of applications thanks to compact housing and universal mounting systems
High shock and vibration resistance and minimal sensitivity to dust and moisture ensure reliable object detection and reduce machine maintenance costs
Optical adjustment indicator ensures reliable object detection to minimize potential machine failures

Capacitive proximity sensors can detect all powdery, granulated, liquid, and solid materials – even through plastic or glass walls. SICK’s capacitive proximity sensors feature extremely high electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which prevents false switches and sensor failure.
