Level measurement on swap tanks is often faced with the challenge of fluctuating gaps. EBE sensors + motion offers an innovative solution to this problem by compensating for manufacturing and assembly tolerances of the plastic parts.
Our new sensor technology, specially optimized for plastic interchangeable tank systems, is based on a combination sensor. This capacitive level sensor with electrode structure and μ-controller is additionally equipped with an inductive proximity sensor. This combination allows real-time tracking of parameters as a function of the individual air gap.
Features of the combination sensor:
Capacitive level sensor for level measurement through the tank wall, tank cavity and frame.
Inductive proximity sensor measures the actual distance to the tank surface.
Compensates for variations due to individual available air gap.
Available as a level switch, limit switch or continuous sensor
As part of custom sensor development, individual parameter sets are defined once and stored in the sensor’s flash memory. This elegant solution does not require any calibration by the customer or user and does not generate any additional electronic effort.
The shape and surface of the combination sensor can be adapted to the requirements of the individual application or tank. With a sensor surface of just 25 x 30 mm, it can easily overcome material thicknesses and air gaps of seven millimeters or more.
The combination sensors are ideal for use in interchangeable tank systems in white goods, in the process industry, in mobile cleaning devices, and in the plumbing and camping sectors.
