30-72718

Touch sensors are devices used to detect the presence and/or absence of contact between two objects. They are often used in automation and robotic systems to sense when human users are interacting with an object. The most basic touch sensor is a switch, which turns on when it is touched by a finger or other object and off when the finger or object is removed. More sophisticated touch sensors can detect what type of object is being touched and can adjust the amount of power they output accordingly. The 30-72718 is a type of touch sensor designed for industrial applications.

30-72718 Application Field and Working Principle

The 30-72718 is primarily designed for industrial applications where long-term reliable and accurate detection of touch is required. It is commonly used in automation and robotic systems for level sensing, detection of presence, and positioning of objects. The 30-72718 is a field selectable device, allowing the user to select the operating mode and sensitivity level to suit the application.

The 30-72718 is a capacitively-coupled DC touch sensor, meaning that the amount of capacitance between the sensing tip and the object being touched determines its output. When there is no object in contact with the sensing tip, the 30-72718 has a low resistance. When the sensing tip comes into contact with an object, its capacitance increases and the resistance decreases, which triggers an output signal. The magnitude of the output signal can be adjusted based on the sensitivity level of the device.

The 30-72718 is also equipped with LED indicators to indicate the status of the device. The LED indicators can be set to either “on” or “off” depending on the application. Additionally, the 30-72718 can be configured for a variety of operating modes, including single shot, pulse, and latch output. Each of these modes has different characteristics and is suited for different types of applications.

Conclusion

The 30-72718 is an industrial-grade touch sensor designed for long-term reliable and accurate detection of touch. It uses a capacitively-coupled DC touch mechanism, as well as LED indicators and various operating modes to suit the application. This type of sensor can be used in unmanned automated and robotic systems for level sensing, presence detection, and positioning of objects.
