Capacitive Proximity Sensors

KNS Extended Series

Universal Material Detection

Precisely and reliably detects liquid, powdery, and solid materials, including both metallic and non-metallic parts.

Through-Container Sensing

Object detection is possible even through the non-conductive walls of containers or packaging, ideal for fill-level checks.

Flexible & Robust Integration

Available in compact D6.5 mm, M8, and M12 sizes with robust stainless steel or brass housings for flush or non-flush installation.

Two Configuration Styles

Choose between Industry 4.0-ready models with IO-Link for diagnostics and remote setup, or models with an intuitive potentiometer for fast manual adjustment.

Key Applications in Manufacturing & Processing

Fill-Level Measurement

Ideal for the process and packaging industries to monitor the fill levels of liquids, powders, and bulk solids inside glass or plastic tanks.

Automotive & Electronics

Provides highly precise detection of plastic parts during cockpit assembly, position checking of circuit boards, and mounting of plug connectors.

Primary Packaging

Reliably checks for the presence of contents within sealed, non-metallic containers and packaging on automated production lines.

Wood & Furniture Industry

Ensures process reliability by accurately detecting the presence and position of wooden boards and planks in automated assembly machines.

Two Paths to Precision

IO-Link for advanced control or Potentiometer for intuitive setup.

The KNS Extended series offers two distinct configuration methods to suit any application. Choose the IO-Link interface for Industry 4.0 integration with remote diagnostics and parameterization, or select the potentiometer version for simple, fast, and reliable manual adjustment on the factory floor.

IO-Link Models: Features remote sensitivity adjustment, NO/NC switching, and advanced process data diagnostics. Potentiometer Models: Enables simple and intuitive sensitivity adjustment via a multiturn potentiometer for straightforward commissioning.
Data-Enabled Maintenance: Allows for easy device swapping without specialized knowledge thanks to data storage in the IO-Link master. Stand-Alone Operation: Perfect for applications where simplicity is key, providing robust performance without the need for a complex control system.
