Sensors monitor fill levels through closed containers.
April 23, 2009 -
Available in range of housing sizes and designs, Capacitive Sensors detect any non-conductive solid, liquid, or granular material packaged in clear or opaque containers. Installed outside of container walls, sensors do not require direct contact with target substrate, which protects sensors from damage and ensures process safety. Possible target substrates include plastics, glass, ceramics, porcelain, clay, stone, wood, paper, cardboard, pellets, powders, and foods.

Baumer Capacitive Sensors Monitor Fill Levels Through Closed Containers
Non-Invasive Detection of Liquids and Solids
Southington, Conn. -- April 22, 2009... Pills, pellets, powders, paper... solder, soda, sugar... oil, ink, water, wine... blood. To detect any non-conductive solid, liquid or granular material packaged in clear or opaque containers, Baumer has introduced a complete line of Capacitive Sensors capable of penetrating through packaging materials such as plastics, glass, cardboard, foam, and other substrates. These sensors are available in a range of housing sizes and designs, and offer extended sensing distances to facilitate installation.
Installed outside of container walls, Baumer Capacitive Sensors do not require direct contact with the target substrate, a feature that protects the sensor from damage and ensures process safety and sensor life expectancy. This non-invasive method of detection also ensures that the sensor's housing cannot contaminate the target material.
Baumer Capacitive Sensors are available in cylindrical, rectangular and special designs. Models are available for use in limited space applications, and for performance in ambient and elevated temperatures. Possible target substrates include plastics, glass, ceramics, porcelain, clay, stone, wood, paper, cardboard, pellets, powders, and foods. These sensors are used in packaging, PCB fabrication, printing, rubber/plastics fabrication, robotics and handling, transportation, warehousing, food and drug processing, medical device manufacturing, cosmetic production, wood processing, metalworking, oil and gas processing, water treatment, and textile production.
For more information on the new Capacitive Sensors, contact Baumer Ltd. at (800) 937-9336, http://baumerelectric.com/usa, or via e-mail at MAILTO:sales.us@baumergroup.com. Baumer is a global leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of high quality, precision sensors since 1952 serving a variety of markets including Automation, Graphics, Robotics/Material Handling, Medical, Machine Tool and Specialty Machines.
