Our capacitive proximity sensors detect liquid, powdery and solid materials precisely and reliably. Parts can also be detected through container walls or packaging. The extremely robust front cap can also withstand plastic granulate with glass fibers.
KNS Extended Series
Universal Material DetectionPrecisely and reliably detects liquid, powdery, and solid materials, including both metallic and non-metallic parts. |
Through-Container SensingObject detection is possible even through the non-conductive walls of containers or packaging, ideal for fill-level checks. |
Flexible & Robust IntegrationAvailable in compact D6.5 mm, M8, and M12 sizes with robust stainless steel or brass housings for flush or non-flush installation. |
Two Configuration StylesChoose between Industry 4.0-ready models with IO-Link for diagnostics and remote setup, or models with an intuitive potentiometer for fast manual adjustment. |
Fill-Level MeasurementIdeal for the process and packaging industries to monitor the fill levels of liquids, powders, and bulk solids inside glass or plastic tanks. |
Automotive & ElectronicsProvides highly precise detection of plastic parts during cockpit assembly, position checking of circuit boards, and mounting of plug connectors. |
Primary PackagingReliably checks for the presence of contents within sealed, non-metallic containers and packaging on automated production lines. |
Wood & Furniture IndustryEnsures process reliability by accurately detecting the presence and position of wooden boards and planks in automated assembly machines. |
Two Paths to PrecisionIO-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.
