The Pepperl+Fuchs CBN15-18GS75-E2-V1 is a high-performance capacitive sensor designed for reliable object detection and level monitoring across a broad range of industrial applications. Built with a robust cylindrical M18 housing, the sensor combines compact size with dependable performance, making it suitable for both OEM equipment integration and plant retrofitting projects.

At the heart of this sensor is capacitive sensing technology, which allows it to detect both conductive and non-conductive materials. Unlike traditional inductive sensors that are limited to metallic objects, the CBN15-18GS75-E2-V1 can sense plastics, glass, wood, powders, and even liquids through container walls. This makes it highly versatile for industries such as packaging, food and beverage, material handling, plastics, and chemical processing.

The sensor offers a nominal sensing distance of 15 mm, ensuring precise detection in applications ranging from bulk material monitoring to liquid level control in tanks or hoppers. For added flexibility, it features an adjustable sensitivity potentiometer, allowing operators to fine-tune detection performance based on the target material and installation conditions. This ensures reliable switching even in challenging scenarios where material density, thickness, or environmental factors may vary.

Engineered for durability, the CBN15-18GS75-E2-V1 is housed in a rugged enclosure with IP67 environmental protection. This robust design shields the sensor from dust, water ingress, and mechanical stress, ensuring consistent operation in harsh environments such as dusty production lines, wet processing areas, or outdoor machinery. Its flush-mounting design not only simplifies installation but also reduces the risk of physical damage during operation.

From an electrical standpoint, the device provides a PNP output configuration with a normally open (NO) switching function, making it simple to integrate into modern automation systems. Its standard M12 connector interface ensures straightforward wiring and compatibility with industry-standard cabling, supporting quick installation and replacement during maintenance.

The CBN15-18GS75-E2-V1 delivers excellent reliability with minimal maintenance requirements, contributing to reduced downtime and greater operational efficiency. Its ability to detect a wide range of materials, combined with flexible adjustment and rugged construction, positions it as a cost-effective solution for diverse industrial sensing challenges.

In summary, the Pepperl+Fuchs CBN15-18GS75-E2-V1 capacitive sensor offers versatility, durability, and precision in a compact format. Whether used for level detection, presence sensing, or process automation, it provides dependable performance that meets the demanding requirements of modern industrial environments.
