Additional Sensor Technologies for Non-Contact Level Monitoring
Non-Contact Level Monitoring Using Combined Technologies and Optical Sensors
Innovative solutions for precise non-contact level monitoring from EBE sensors + motion offer solutions for the most individual application problems. ToF sensors are used to optically detect the level of non-capacitive media and bulk solids with complex geometries. The capacitive level monitoring system with inductive parameter tracking has been specially developed for use in plastic swap-body tank systems.
Capacitive Non-Contact Level Monitoring with Inductive Parameter Adjustment
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.
Non-Contact Level Monitoring using ToF Sensor Technology
EBE also offers standard Time Of Flight (ToF) sensing for various applications, including level measurement for granular and liquid media. With infrared laser technology, distances between 20-400 cm can be measured. The two-dimensional sensors sit directly on the printed circuit board, allowing easy integration into other structures and saving space.
Features of EBE ToF sensors
- Energy-saving version
- Multi-Object Detection
- Detection of ambient light
- Object detection down to 1 cm
- Short Description Level Sensor LTFA
Customized Solutions for Non-Contact Level Monitoring
With our custom designed level sensors, you can discover tailor-made solutions for level monitoring. The geometry of our sensors can be precisely matched to the available installation space. The assembly and planning of the large-scale production is carried out in close co-operation with the design department of the customer. Because each project has different requirements, our sensor is customised for optimum performance. Electrode design plays a key role in developing a customised level sensor. We use 3D field simulations to optimise the electrodes for specific operating and environmental conditions. This ensures the best possible performance. Our electrical measurement field penetrates not only the sensor structures but also the materials of the tank, making them an integral part of the sensor system. The interfaces, connectors and type of the signal output are precisely implemented by EBE sensors + motion according to the individual requirements of our customers. As a result, our level sensors can be quickly and easily integrated into existing environments without the need for time-consuming redesign.
