CM PTFE Capacitive Proximity Sensor

Brand: SICK Canada

Capacitive proximity sensors can detect all types of material: powder-based, granulated, liquid, and solid.

The CM18 PTFE is ideal for detecting the level of acids, alkalis, or solvents, for example. It is also used for detection in aggressive environments (acid fumes). PTFE-housing is resistant to almost all chemicals and organic solvents.
