In the exciting world of industrial engineering, where precision and efficiency are imperative, an innovative solution emerges: the Capacitive Level Sensor with Inductive Parameter Tracking. Submitted by WorldWide WCE, this device promises to revolutionize level measurement in removable tanks, especially those made of plastics.
The Challenge of Variable Dimensions
Measuring level in removable tanks presents unique challenges due to the manufacturing and assembly tolerances of the plastic parts used. Differences in wall thickness, thermal deformation over time, and incorrect insertion of tanks can significantly affect measurement distances. When these variations exceed two millimeters, conventional capacitive sensors become limited.
The Elegant Solution of WorldWide WCE
WorldWide WCE has designed a sensor that addresses this problem in an elegant way. The Combined Sensor integrates a capacitive electrode structure and a µ-controller, along with an inductive proximity sensor. Let’s see how it works:
- External Measurement: The sensor measures the level from outside the tank, passing through the tank wall, cavity and frame of the unit. This eliminates the need to insert the sensor into the tank.
- Real-Time Tracking: The inductive sensor measures the actual distance between the sensor surface and the tank surface. A small piece of aluminium is sufficient as a counterpart for the induTEC® sensor. Based on the individual air gap, the parameters of the capacitive sensor are adjusted in real time.
- Versatility: These sensors are available both as level meters and limit value switches, or even as continuous measuring sensors.
Benefits for the Industry
- Accuracy: Inductive parameter tracking ensures accurate measurements, even under varying conditions.
- Plastics Compatibility: Designed specifically for plastic tanks, this sensor overcomes the limitations of conventional sensors.
- Assembly Efficiency: Manufacturing and assembly tolerances are no longer an obstacle, speeding up installation.
In summary, the Capacitive Level Sensor with Inductive Parameter Tracking is an indispensable tool for senior engineers seeking excellence in level measurement in industrial environments. WorldWide WCE continues to lead the way in innovation, delivering solutions that drive efficiency and reliability in the industry.
