Structure; Sensor - MICRO-EPSILON combiSENSOR 64x0 Instruction Manual

Functional Principle, Technical Data
A constant dielectric constant of the target is required in order to obtain correct measuring results.
The thickness value can be calculated and output directly in the controller.
i
In contrast to the capacitive signal of the sensor, the output signal of the eddy current signal is not being
affected by the materials in the measuring gap and is therefore determined by the distance between the sen-
sor and the ground electrode.
2.2
The non-contact, single-channel measuring sys-
tem, see
consists of:
- a KSH5 or a KSH10 sensor
- a KSS64x0 controller.
2.2.1
In its sensor housing the combiSENSOR combines an eddy current displacement sensor and a capacitive
displacement sensor. In order to obtain accurate measuring results, the surface of the sensor must be kept
clean and free from damage. The capacitive measuring process is area-related. The combiSENSOR requires
a minimum area of ø 45 mm (KSH5) or ø 65 mm (KSH10).

With measurement objects presenting a structured surface, a target thickness up to a maximum of 50
% of the working distance is recommended. If necessary, use a sensor with a larger target thickness
instead.
