Optimize your automation with the SICK CM12-08EBP-KC1 (6051030). A compact M12 capacitive sensor featuring 8mm sensing, IP68 protection, and smart Teach-in setup.
The SICK CM12-08EBP-KC1 is a high-performance capacitive proximity sensor engineered for the non-contact detection of both metallic and non-metallic objects, including liquids, granulates, and solid materials. Housed in a compact M12 plastic body, this sensor is designed to save installation space while maintaining a generous sensing range of up to 8 mm.
Equipped with advanced “Smart” features, the CM12 automatically detects the connected load (PNP or NPN) and allows users to program the output function as either NO or NC via a simple Teach-in button or an external control wire. Its robust design offers superior electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), preventing false switching in environments with high electrical noise. With an IP68 rating, it is highly resistant to moisture and dust, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial conditions. The integrated LED indicators provide immediate feedback on the switching status and signal reserve, simplifying both commissioning and maintenance.
Level Control: Detecting fill levels of liquids or bulk solids through non-metallic container walls (e.g., plastic tanks).
Object Detection: Identifying presence in packaging lines, even for transparent or irregularly shaped objects.
Solar & Electronics: Detecting wafer trays or sensitive electronic components in cleanroom environments.
Wood & Paper Industry: Monitoring the flow of timber, paper sheets, or cardboard regardless of surface color or texture.
Food & Beverage: Non-contact sensing of food products and containers in washdown-adjacent zones.
