Capacitive sensors from Locon Sensor Systems, Inc. are designed for use in the semiconductor industry, featuring adjustable sensing distances ranging from 0 to 8 mm depending on the model. These sensors are available in various sizes, including cylindrical heads as small as vò4 mm up to M12. They operate effectively within an ambient temperature range of -30 to +80°C and have a maximum hysteresis of 10% of the sensing range. The sensors are housed in robust stainless steel or duroplast materials, providing IP67 or IP65 protection against dust and water ingress. The sensors require external amplifiers for operation, with a supply voltage of 4 to 8 VDC for the sensors and 10 to 35 VDC for the amplifiers. They feature a switching frequency of 100 Hz and a repeat accuracy of 2.0%. Additional protective features include short circuit, overload, EMF, and reverse polarity protection. The sensors are suitable for applications requiring precise detection, such as ensuring the correct positioning of printed circuit boards and detecting small components in bonding processes.
Locon Sensors is a long-time dedicated supplier of specially developed capacitive sensors and compatible amplifiers for the Semiconductor Industry. Miniature cylindrical capacitive heads are available in barrel sizes as small as Ø4 up to M12. When paired with the external amplifier, sensing distance is adjustable from 0 to 8mm, depending on the sensor model. Because of their extremely precise sensing capabilities, Locon Sensors capacitive bonding sensors can detect even the smallest gold wires in any bonding machine to attach bare wafer chips to a base plate. Locon Sensors capacitives are also used to detect if the printed circuit board is in its final position to be populated with electrical components. Without this working step, chips are at risk to be placed on the wrong position on the board. Through their robust steel housing and their PTFE, PVC, or POM front cap they provide ongoing reliable performance in many environments, making them a perfect fit for applications in various industries, ensuring uninterrupted production
