6G research and development China starts to run Pepperl+Fuchs capacitive proximity switch

5G has just been commercialized, and 6G technology has started research and development. In an era where factories and machines communicate with each other, a fast data connection is first required to realize this possibility. The emergence of the upcoming 5G mobile communication is crucial, because the current communication standards cannot meet the requirements of industrial applications. Pepperl+Fuchs learned from the 2019 World 5G Conference yesterday that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Science and Technology have just started the research and development of my country's sixth-generation mobile communication technology this month. China Unicom and China Telecom have also confirmed to reporters that they have separately conducted research on 6G-related technologies such as terahertz and millimeter wave. Pepperl+Fuchs looks forward to the era of 6G communications.

okplazas.com thinks Pepperl+Fuchs is a benchmark for industrial automation. It has been exploring the most important technology at the forefront of industrial automation. This time okplazas.com is fortunate to introduce Pepperl+Fuchs capacitive proximity switches to everyone.

Just like inductive sensors, capacitive sensors detect targets without contact. Capacitive sensors can detect both conductive materials and non-conductive materials. However, we are usually used to detect non-conductive materials such as plastics, liquids, powders, and granular objects. In practical applications, the sensitivity of capacitive proximity switches depends on the material properties of the object to be inspected. For example, the material properties of the target object such as metal, plastic or liquid will affect the sensing distance of the capacitive sensor, so the detected action points will be different. Taking into account the differences caused by these different materials, Pepperl+Fuchs provides many products with adjustable sensitivity, which makes these sensors more flexible in practical applications.

In some applications where inductive sensors are not suitable, these capacitive sensors are another option for you.
