The KNS Capacitive Proximity Sensor series is renowned for its precise detection capabilities of liquids, powders, solids, and metallic and non-metallic components. This high-precision technology is widely used in electronics, automotive, and various other industries that require accurate material and component detection.

Now, the series is even more durable, reliable, and long-lasting with the addition of the M32 KNS Extended Sensor. Specifically designed for high-precision applications, this sensor is ideal for detecting the fill level of granulates during the injection process — all without the need for additional protective devices.

What’s New with the KNS Extended M32 Sensor:

• The sensor surface is highly resistant to abrasive substances and can withstand temperatures up to 120°C, ensuring easy installation and cost-effective maintenance without the need for a protective screen.
• A large switching distance of up to 16 mm enhances its robustness and flexibility, offering reliable object detection.
• The sensor is capable of withstanding static discharges of up to 40 kV.
• Made with a robust stainless steel housing (AISI 304).
• A durable PEEK front cap, which can endure glass fiber-reinforced, abrasive plastic granules.
• Simple operation through a potentiometer for easy adjustments.
• An extended voltage range from 10 to 40 V DC.

Application:

The KNS Extended M32 sensors are perfect for use in processes such as transporting, dosing, mixing, and drying granulates before injection molding. They can be used to accurately determine the fill level in plastic injection molding systems.

Thanks to its wear-resistant active surface, which is also resistant to glass fiber-reinforced and abrasive plastic granules, the sensor ensures easy and reliable installation without the need for extra protective devices. This makes it an excellent choice for improving the efficiency and reliability of molding operations.
