New non-contact capacitive measurement

Micro-Epsilon's new capaNCDT CST6110 is said to be suitable for industrial counting tasks and rotational speed (RPM) applications, including balancing machines, spin test benches, gearboxes, rotating shafts, engines, high speed generators, turbines and electric motors. Regardless of the target material, whether they are electrical conductors (metals) or insulators (plastics, ceramics), Mirco-Epsilon says that they are counted from the first detection with no run-up necessary and without any impairment of the signal quality. 

The capaNCDT CST6110 system is claimed to provide reliable measurements even in applications where dirt, dust or oil mist are present. The company confirms that the new device even measures directly in oil, due to the signal change of the target being significantly higher than the change from the presence of oil.
