Sick is on the level with its
CQF capacitive sensor
Compact, economic and quick to
install, Sick’s CQF16 capacitive
level sensor has been developed to
provide a universal, non-contact
solution wherever the fill level of
water-based liquids must be detected in non-metallic vessels, tanks or
pipes. The robust, ECOLAB-certified Sick CQF16 level sensor is supplied
with a one-clip mounting bracket that can be fastened securely to the wall
of any pipe or container. Using the capacitive measurement principle, it
accurately detects water-based media regardless of foam, moisture or
deposit build-up on the inside of the vessel. David Hannaby of Sick said:
“The CQF offers an economical new alternative for a wide range of level
sensing duties. Wherever there is a requirement for on/off or low/high
switching, the CQF offers all the reliability and flexibility you need.

Next generation handheld barcode readers

Cognex Corporation announces the launch of its DataMan 8700
Series of handheld barcode readers. Built on a completely
redesigned platform, this next generation of handheld readers
delivers cutting-edge performance and ease of use with no tuning
or operator training required. Featuring advanced image
formation and quick processing, the 8700 Series can instantly
read challenging direct part mark (DPM) and label-based codes,
even when vital elements of the code are missing or damaged.
Designed with oil-resistant and waterproof plastics, the readers
are built to last in the harshest manufacturing environments.
Built-in OLED display screens to enable quick setup.

ToF sensors take production
to new heights

Carlo Gavazzi has launched the
latest LD30 Sensors with both ToF
(time of flight) and IO-Link
communication encompassed in the
same sensor, offering an unrivalled
flexibility to detect any object, any colour, any material or surface types at
a distance of up to 1000mm. The sensor can be operated in IO-Link
mode once connected to an IO-Link master or in standard I/O mode and
offers adjustable parameters via the IO-Link interface such as sensing an
adjustable sensing distance of 50 to 1.000 mm, either by potentiometer
or via IO-Link where the analogue distance value between sensor and
object is readable.
