The product family of capacitive proximity sensors from SICK delivers convincing performance in harsh everyday operations. If the application setting is heavily contaminated with dust or detection must take place through a wall, the capacitive active principle often provides the decisive advantage. The capacitive proximity sensors ideally complement the product portfolio for factory automation.
Dust, dirt, vibrations, and shocks in the operating environment do not pose interference factors either for SICKs CM sensors in cylindrical thread design or for the CQ sensors in the rectangular housing.
Product features that are convincing
The capacitive proximity sensors from SICK are extremely rugged in the face of vibrations and shocks. In practical use, these features become apparent through a high level of machine availability and process reliability. The latest member of the sensor family, the extremely flat CQ28, fits nearly any application. This device features a complementary switching output, which allows selecting either an NC or NO function. In addition, the sensor automatically detects a PNP or NPN load. Sensitivity can be adjusted via teach-in.

First-class: the application range of the capacitives
Recognizing filling level, controlling material feed, detecting the presence of objects - these are the predominant tasks of capacitive proximity sensors. Paper, wood, plastic granules, grain, liquids, and nearly all other materials are detected reliably. The range of use in which the capacitives from SICK can show their class is correspondingly broad.
