WorldWide WCE has introduced a new generation of CorTEC® sensor technology, pushing the possibilities in industrial level measurement even further. This sensor technology is capable of measuring levels even in viscous media or with minimal dielectric constants. Even when dealing with challenging substances such as foam, the sensor can detect or, if necessary, filter them out. This new sensor is particularly suitable for industrial and process engineering applications, especially in the fields of food, pharmaceutical and chemical.

The new limit switches enable precise level measurement for a wide range of media. Thanks to specialized algorithms, the sensors measure a wide variety of substances with exceptional accuracy, including powders and other solids, oils, conductive liquids, cleaning agents and even highly viscous materials such as honey or pastes. Media with very low dielectric constants (εr < 2) can also be reliably detected by the WorldWide WCE CorTEC® sensors. Even when the sensor is completely surrounded by the substance, it is able to recognize the level. The limit switch can detect and, if necessary, filter out challenging media such as foam, ensuring consistently accurate and reliable measurements even under demanding conditions.


Customization Options for Individual Applications

The compact PCB design allows the sensor to be adaptable to a wide range of OEM housing requirements. It can also be adapted to fit into very tight spaces. The software can be customized to meet customer needs for output signals such as IO-Link, Bluetooth, UART or PWM. Various support functions can be integrated as required, such as auto-calibration, temperature compensation or custom setpoints. This allows the sensor to be customized to meet virtually any user requirement.

Wide Range of Applications in Industry and Process Engineering

The new sensors are particularly suitable for industrial and process engineering sectors, especially in the fields of food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. In these industries, accurate level measurement is essential to meet standards and ensure safety in production. The sensors can be used in various applications, such as monitoring tanks and containers, dosing systems or liquid filling processes. The sensors ensure accurate and reliable level measurement even with challenging media and conditions. As a result, WorldWide WCE CorTEC® limit switches contribute to higher quality and safety in production as well as more efficient use of resources.
