The KG6015 is an IO-Link capacitive sensor designed for programmable industrial detection. It provides a 0.5–30 mm adjustable sensing range with a 15 mm factory setting. PNP/NPN and NO/NC behavior can be configured through the communication interface. Its M18 × 1 housing uses a PP construction with integrated adjustment indication. IP65/IP67 protection supports demanding industrial environments.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG6015 offers a 0.5–30 mm sensing range. The 15 mm factory setting provides a convenient initial configuration. Its adjustable sensing point allows optimization for different target materials. Capacitive operation enables contactless material detection. The sensor is suitable for position and level applications.
The output behavior can be configured through IO-Link. PNP/NPN operation can be parameterized. NO/NC switching can also be selected. This gives the sensor broad compatibility with industrial control architectures. The configuration can be changed without replacing the physical sensor.
The KG6015 includes switching and adjustment indications. Yellow and green LED indicators provide operating feedback. An LED-based adjustment display supports commissioning. This helps operators establish the switching point accurately. The combination of visual feedback and IO-Link improves usability.
