The KG6006 is an NPN capacitive sensor with selectable normally open or normally closed operation. It provides a 0.5–30 mm adjustable sensing range and a 15 mm factory setting. IO-Link communication enables parameterization and process-data exchange. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and switches at 30 Hz. Optical adjustment assistance and multi-color indication simplify commissioning.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG6006 provides a wide 0.5–30 mm sensing range. Its factory setting is 15 mm. The sensor can be adjusted for different target materials and installation distances. Capacitive detection supports non-contact sensing. This makes it useful for both level and position monitoring.
The electrical design is NPN. The output function can be selected between normally open and normally closed. The sensor provides 200 mA continuous output capability. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. This gives flexibility for different control requirements.
The KG6006 includes an optical setting aid. Yellow and green LEDs provide operating and signal information. The adjustment indicators help operators identify the configured sensing point. This simplifies commissioning without relying entirely on external measurement tools. The feature is particularly useful for repetitive machine setup.

The sensor is rated for IP65/IP67/IP69K protection. This supports dusty, wet, and washdown-prone environments. The M18 × 1 threaded body simplifies mechanical mounting. The operating temperature is -25 to 80°C. The sensor is designed for demanding industrial installations.
The optical setting aid simplifies adjustment during machine commissioning. LED indications provide immediate visual feedback. IO-Link provides an additional digital configuration path. The sensing range can be adapted without changing the sensor model. This improves flexibility for machine builders and maintenance teams.
