Heidelberg M2.198.1563/02A Capacitive Proximity Switch

The capacitive proximity switch, also known as proximity sensor or capacitive sensor, with type number M2.198.1563/02A from Heidelberg, is an electrical sensor for non-contact object detection. It has the dimensions 15 x 10 x 10 cm and weighs 0.13 kg. Capacitive proximity switches detect objects without contact by changing an electric field, regardless of their material or color. They are often used in automation technology for level monitoring of liquids and bulk materials, for position detection of workpieces, and for presence control in production facilities. Typical applications are found in mechanical engineering, the packaging industry, and logistics.
