Capacitive proximity sensors
KNS Extended
The KNS Extended series, in Ø 6.5mm, M8 and M12, detects liquid, powdery and solid materials, as well as metallic and non-metallic parts.
Sensitivity and NO/NC switching are adjusted via IO-Link or a multi-turn potentiometer.
KNS Extended with IO-Link
Highest degree of flexibility during integration
Our KNS Extended capacitive proximity sensors with IO-Link are ideally suited for highly precise applications in the electronics and automobile industry and other industries in which materials and components may need to be detected precisely in production processes. Thanks to IO-Link, the integration of KNS Extended sensors into the control system is simpler and new diagnostic functions provide additional benefits for reducing the risk of faulty work by the sensors.
KNS Extended IO-Link sensors are available with switching distance from 0.2 to 12 mm, in the smallest sizes in Ø 6.5 mm, M8 and M12. All of them have flush and non-flush installation formats - with cable and plug connectors. Sensitivity and NO/NC switching are adjusted via IO-Link.
Benefits of the series KNS Extended with IO-Link:
- Large switching distance for reliable object detection
- IO-Link interface
- Sensitivity adjustable via IO-Link
- NO/NC, switchable via IO-Link
- Quantitative and qualitative diagnostics via IO-Link
- Push-pull output pnp + npn
- Robust stainless steel and galvanized brass housing
- Short design with a length of only 45 mm for space-saving installations
KNS Extended with IO-Link
Applications
Der PS-30 stellt sich Ihren anspruchsvollen Herausforderungen. Er erfasst Profile von Objekten und erkennt schon ab 0,5 mm Differenz zuverlässig ob Bauteile, Montagevorgänge Fräsungen oder Bohrungen vom Sollzustand abweichen.
Capacitive sensors for non-contact and wear-free detection
The KNS Extended series with IO-Link is especially suited for applications in the electronics industry, e.g. for mounting plug connectors or for position checking of circuit boards. Further areas of application are found in the automobile industry, such as the detection of plastic parts during assembly of headlights or cockpits.
The KNS Extended series is especially well suited for the wood and furniture industry, where they reliably detect boards and planks in automated assembly machines.
KNS Extended with potentiometer
Highest degree of flexibility during integration
Our capacitive proximity sensors detect liquid, powdery and solid materials precisely and reliably. They are equally suitable for the detection of metallic and non-metallic parts. Parts can also be detected through container walls or packaging.
KNS Extended sensors with potentiometer are available with switching distance from 0.2 to 8 mm, in the smallest sizes in Ø 6.5 mm, M8 and M12. All of them have flush and non-flush installation formats - with cable and plug connectors. Sensitivity and NO/NC switching are adjusted via a multi-turn potentiometer.
Benefits of the series KNS Extended with potentiometer:
- Large switching distance for reliable object detection
- Detection of liquids, powdery and solid materials
- Detection possible even through containers and packages
- Simple and intuitive sensitivity adjustment via multiturn potentiometer
- NO/NC, switchable
- Push-pull output pnp + npn
- Robust stainless steel housing
- Protection class IP65

Capacitive sensors for non-contact and wear-free detection
The capacitive sensors in the KNS Extended series with potentiometer are robust sensors that offer more than a standard design. They are especially well suited for primary packaging, for detecting contents through containers or packaging. Further applications are found in the process industry in the detection of liquids, powders and solid materials. Their strength is very precisely detecting non-metallic, solid materials via their high degree of sensitivity.
