Capacitive sensors are designed for non-contact measurement of displacement, distance and position, as well as for thickness measurement. Due to their high signal stability and resolution, capacitive displacement sensors are applied in laboratories and industrial measurement tasks. In production control, for example, capacitive sensors measure film thickness and application of the adhesive. Installed in machines, they monitor displacement and tool positions. The special sensor design, triaxial sensor cable and innovative controller technology result in a perfectly matched measurement system. Therefore, capaNCDT measurement systems stand for high precision and signal stability. Even in industrial applications, capacitive sensors achieve resolutions in the submicrometre range.

In its sensor housing, the combiSENSOR combines two displacement sensors. This unique sensor concept enables one-sided thickness measurement of electrically non-conductive materials on metallic objects. Its field of application is the thickness measurement of plastic film or of plastic coating on metal plates. The eddy current sensor penetrates the plastic layer and measures the distance to a metallic material underneath it, e.g. a metal plate. The capacitive sensor synchronously detects the distance to the plastic material. The thickness is determined based on the difference of both sensor signals. The combiSENSOR is connected to the controller via a cable. Operation takes place via a user-friendly web interface for sensor and controller configuration. In addition, the controller offers different calculation functions for both sensor signals.
Calculation of the two sensor signals provides compensation of mechanical changes such as thermal expansion, deflections or eccentricity in the measurement device. Due to the redundancy of this combined sensor principle, the measured thickness value remains unaffected by any changes in the measurement setup. Due to the high temperature stability, the combiSENSOR provides high measurement accuracy even with fluctuating temperatures. Fields of application are non-contact thickness measurement of plastic films, coated metals, the applied adhesive |
The capaNCDT DTV series is designed for non-contact detection of Disc Thickness Variation (DTV) including capacitive sensors for multi-track measurements and a case with the measurement channel for mobile use. With the capaNCDT DTV measurement system, capacitive displacement sensors determine the thickness of the brake discs from both sides using the difference principle. While the brake disc rotates, the thickness deviation is determined via the circumference of the entire disc. Using several sensors in pairs or the CSH1,4FL multi-channel sensor enables multi-track thickness measurements. Thickness measurements can be carried out in test benches, in road tests or in car repair shops. The DTV case is intended for mobile use, e.g. for quality assurance purposes and warranty claims.
The innovative CSH1, 4FL multi-track sensor contains four capacitive sensors in one compact housing. This is how four tracks on the brake disc can be detected synchronously. Mirror-inverted sensor models mounted on the opposite sides of the brake disc enable accurate thickness measurement. A special ceramic substrate protects the sensors from mechanical and thermal loads, also providing high temperature stability, which enables precise measurement results in the case of fluctuating ambient temperatures. Combined with the DT6220 controller, four sensor channels can be configured and processed synchronously. Due to the high bandwidth, dynamic measurements up to 5kHz (-3dB) are possible. Data output is via an analog output or a digital Ethernet/EtherCAT interface. An intuitive web interface enables fast, easy set up and configuration of the sensor and controller. |
