Multi-Channel Capacitive Displacement Sensor

The CPL230 precision capacitive displacement sensor system from Lion Precision features up to six sensors in a 4" x 2" x 8" package (100 x 50 x 200 mm).

"Engineers and designers who develop equipment requiring precise noncontact position sensing have struggled with getting the performance they need into a small space," said a company spokesperson. "Multi-channel precision capacitive displacement sensor systems are often large modular designs offering user adjustments and indicators. These systems have many uses, but for OEM applications, the electronics may be buried in a cabinet where user cannot see the display s or make adjustments. In addition, OEM applications require cost control."

"Lion Precision's CPL230 sensor system can support up to six channels of capacitive sensing with performance approaching that of Lion Precision's Elite Series modular systems," said the spokesperson. Resolutions are as high as 0.0007% at 100 Hz or 0.004% at 15 kHz. A differential output is provided for maximum performance when output connections must traverse longer distances through machines.

The CPL230 has color-coded channels and probes for easy installation into machines. With no user adjustments or displays, the electronics can be installed in out-of-the-way places. Systems typically ship with 15 kHz bandwidth. Users can access an internal dip-switch to set the bandwidth to 15 kHz, 10 kHz, 1 kHz or 100 Hz. The bandwidth selection allows users to opt for higher resolutions or higher speeds.

"The system is easier on designer's budgets at approximately 25% lower cost than the Elite Series systems," said the spokesperson.
