INTRODUCTION CONTRINEX Contrinex is a leading manufacturer of sensors for factory automation. The Swiss company, headquartered in Givisiez near Fribourg (CH), has a unique and innovative range of products whose features far surpass those of standard sensors. Since its foundation in 1972 by Peter Heimlicher, Dipl Ing ETH, Contrinex has grown from a one-man operation to a multinational group with over 500 employees worldwide. More than 15 subsidiaries cover the core markets in Europe, Asia, North and South America. At a glance • Technology leading manufacturer of inductive and photoelectric...

Intelligent Sensors for the 4th Industrial Revolution: Industry 4.0 Fit for the future with IO-Link Intelligent sensors are the fundamental building blocks of modern smart factories. They enable sensorsupported production resources (machines, robots, etc.) to configure, control, manage and optimize themselves. Precise, reliable sensor data is now more essential than ever. Sensors from Contrinex, the leader in intelligent sensor technology, ensure excellent data quality. To communicate that data, all Contrinex inductive and photoelectric ASIC sensors will be equipped with IO-Link as...

inductive Photoelectric Ultrasonic ■ Capacitive Safety RFID Connectivity Accessories Glossary Index

introduction Capacitive sensors are used in machines, installations and vehicles for monitoring the levels of liquids, pastes and bulk material. These materials can even be detected through non-metallic dividing walls. In addition, capacitive sensors are suitable as limit switches, contact-free position switches, for monitoring and positioning, as pulse generators for counting purposes, distance and speed measurement, and much more. operating principle The electrodes at the device’s sensing face permit the sensor to detect the dielectric conditions in its close surroundings. Depending on...

(V2A AISI 304) with a PPO sensing face. Sensor connection is by means of cable or an integral connector. All device types are available in embeddable versions, allowing detection through container walls. In addition, M18 and M30-sized devices are also available in non-embeddable versions that permit longer operating distances. Cubic devices are available, sized 32 x 34 mm in a PVC housing with 3-wire connection, or 120 x 80 mm in a PBT housing with 4-wire connection. With operating distances from 0.5 mm to 25 mm, Contrinex Basic range capacitive sensors are the cost effective solution...
