Capacitive Sensors

JTECH Srl of Turin is a technical and commercial reference point of DATASENSING for Piedmont.

Capacitive sensors are a special type of proximity sensors. Their operation is based on the generation of an electrostatic field and can detect the presence of objects of any material.

The sensors also differ in the type of shielding. The shielded models have the sensitive part completely flush with the sensor body, in fact the generated field is present only on the active face and therefore only detect a target in the frontal position. For this feature, these models can be mounted completely embedded in the metal body of the machine. Unshielded models, on the other hand, have the sensitive part protruding from the sensor body, in fact the detection field is also present on the side of the active face. Having a greater extension, the detection range is greater than that of the shielded models. These models must be mounted protruding from the metal body of the machine.
