Description
The IFM KI Series are industrial-grade capacitive proximity sensors designed for non-contact detection of liquids, powders, and solid materials. These sensors operate on the principle of dielectric constant change, making them ideal for level detection, presence sensing, and material handling applications. The series includes standard and extended sensing range models with various housing styles (threaded barrel, rectangular, fork-type) to suit different installation needs. Key models include KI0016 (M18 barrel), KI0209 (M30 barrel), KI5002/KI5015 (rectangular compact), and KI0202/KI0203 (short M12/M18).
