IFM Efector KI0207Product Attribute Attribute Value Primary Type Capacitive Proximity Sensors Overview Capacitive sensors Capacitive sensors are used for the non contact detection of any objects and for level monitoring. In contrast to inductive sensors, which only detect metallic objects, capacitive sensors can also detect non metallic materials. Typical applications are in the wood, paper, glass, plastic, food and chemical industries. In packaging systems, capacitive
