Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of inductive proximity sensors - primarily used to detect metal parts and objects. These sensors are extensively used in packaging and plastics machines, assembly lines and conveyor systems.
Our inductive sensors are available in a wide variety of styles and feature both digital (SCR, transistor) and analogue outputs. We also carry a wide selection of ancillary products such as timers, zero speed relays, counters, and digital speed indicators and tachometers.

Available with plastic, stainless steel, or nickel-plated brass housings.
Flat pack styles.
Extended range versions.
High temperature versions.
Available with NPN or PNP transistor, SCR, or analogue output.
Available with a 2 metre cable or with a quick disconnect plug.

Carlo Gavazzi's patented Tripleshield™ Capacitive Sensors have become the standard all other manufacturers are measured against. All Tripleshield™ sensors are tested to withstand electrostatic discharges up to 40 KV, line transients up to 4 KV, and airborne noise (ie. cellular phones) up to 15 V/m. Furthermore, some models have built-in humidity compensation.
Capacitive sensors will detect most materials - conductive and non-conductive. This makes them ideal for level detection in raw plastic delivery systems and in agricultural applications.

Cylindrical types with 18mm or 30mm diameters.
Available with plastic or stainless steel housing.
Flat pack styles.
Extended range versions.
High temperature versions.
Available with NPN or PNP transistor, SCR.
Available with a 2 metre cable or with a quick disconnect plug.
Special housing materials for use in aggressive chemicals and food products.

Carlo Gavazzi's range of photoelectric sensors are used extensively in the packaging, car wash, and automatic doors industries. We have a wide range of housing styles, each having the basic photoelectric sensing principles : diffuse reflective, back ground suppression, retro-reflective, polarized, and through beam.

Available in diffuse, retro- reflective, polarized, and through-beam types.
Cylindrical types with 18mm diameter - available with plastic or nickel-plated brass housings.
Flat pack styles.
High power types for use in car washes and other harsh environments.
Fibre optic types for use in places where a standard photosensor will not fit.
Available with NPN or PNP transistor, SCR, or relay output..
Available with a 2 metre cable or with a quick disconnect plug. Some models are also available with 1/2 inch conduit entry.
Door sensors with a multiplexing amplifier.

Carlo Gavazzi's range of ultrasonic sensors are used for level detection and level control and for parts detection. They are available with both analogue and digital outputs. With sensing distances up to 8 metres, they are suited for many applications in industrial control.

M18, M30, and Square housings.
Sensing distance is adjustable via either a built in potentiometer, teach-in contact, via serial communication (software is provided)..
Available with analogue, transistor, or dual transistor outputs.
Microprocessor based sensing with excellent temperature stability.
19-30 VDC supply voltage.
Synchronization input allows multiple sensors to be used without interference..
Available with 2 metre cable, quick disconnect plug, or 'pig-tail' disconnect plug.

Carlo Gavazzi comprehensive range of level detection products is well suited to solve most level control applications. Our range is able to detect conductive and non-conductive liquids, granulates, grains, and plastics.Typical applications are for level control in wells and municipal water systems, protection of pumps, levels in grain elevators and feed conveyors, level detection in vacuum delivery systems in the plastics industry, detection of level in packaging machines to name just a few.

Conductive Probe Assemblies and Amplifiers for monitoring and control of level in conductive liquids.
Optical Sensors for monitoring and control of level in conductive and non-conductive liquids. Various housing materials are available allowing use in aggressive cleaning agents.
Capacitive Sensors with and without remote amplifiers for monitoring and control of level in dry goods (feeds, grains, plastic pellets). Special versions for use in the semiconductor industry and in applications where aggressive chemical agents are used.
Mechanical switches for low cost monitoring and control in OEM applications (water conditioners and small storage tanks)
Ultrasonic sensors for monitoring of level with either a digital output or an analogue output.
