With its new sensor platform EBE sensors + motion offers a solution for the continuous, non-contact detection of filling levels of different media for larger filling heights. The approach allows for precise measurement from a few millimeters to 10 cm (4 inches), with longer measuring ranges possible at customer’s request.
The LCPB sensor generation is able to detect a wide range of media, including liquids, granules, and powdered materials. The capacitive-based sensors offer a high degree of accuracy and are virtually insensitive to external interference. In addition, the sensor sensitivity can be customized so that even media with challenging physical properties, such as oils or certain solids, can be reliably detected. EBE’s capacitive technology allows for special fields of application, including unfavorable applications.
The sensor technology from EBE sensors + motion is integrated on a printed circuit board and can be mounted outside the tank. Thanks to their high sensitivity, the level sensors can measure precisely even through tank walls with a thickness of up to 8 mm (0.3 inches). Measurement is possible despite an air gap between the tank and the sensor.
To further facilitate integration, EBE offers an evaluation kit that allows engineers to test the sensors under real operating conditions. The intuitive software of the kit enables quick commissioning and visualization of the measured values without the need for complex hardware or interface adjustments. The measurement results can be analyzed, stored, and further processed directly, which enables efficient evaluation and implementation in existing systems.
