The KG6001 is an IO-Link capacitive sensor designed for programmable material detection. It provides a 0.5–30 mm adjustable sensing range with a 15 mm factory setting. Its output behavior can be configured for NO/NC and PNP/NPN operation. The M18 × 1 threaded body provides non-flush installation. IP65/IP67/IP69K protection supports demanding industrial environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG6001 supports a broad 0.5–30 mm detection range. The factory setting is 15 mm. The sensing point can be adjusted to match target conditions. Capacitive detection supports solids and liquids. This makes the sensor flexible for different machine configurations.
The sensor can be configured for normally open or normally closed operation. PNP/NPN behavior can be parameterized through IO-Link. This allows one sensor type to support different control architectures. The 200 mA output capability supports common automation inputs. Short-circuit and overload protection add operating robustness.
The KG6001 provides IO-Link 1.1 communication. The interface supports process data and diagnostic functions. Parameters can be changed through the automation system. This reduces manual configuration requirements. It is suitable for connected industrial machines.
