Lion Precision launches CPA100 capacitive sensor
Lion Precision
CPA100 capacitive sensor
The CPA100 capacitive sensor from Lion Precision is suitable for applications such as basic position monitoring, line part sorting and double sheet detection in printers.
The new sensor has a setpoint (switched) output to indicate presence/absence like a typical proximity switch, but the non-linear analogue output is capable of resolutions as low as 15nm RMS (150nm p-p).
The CPA100 features a front-panel range indicator to alert the operator to out-of-range conditions, DIN-rail-mount electronics and user adjustments for offset (zero) and gain.
Probes provide standard measurement ranges from 0.05mm to 6 mm.
Offset and gain can also be controlled with remote potentiometers if the device is enclosed in a control panel.
Sync connectors allow the interference-free use of multiple sensors with the same target.
Further applications for the CPA100 include the monitoring of processes involving non-conductive materials, including films, fabrics and applied coatings such as adhesives.
