Leinfelden-Echterdingen – With the new QCRC sensor generation, EBE sensors + motion is expanding the corTEC® product family with a particularly compact and powerful solution for the non contact detection of fluid properties for OEM and process applications.
For the first time, the sensors enable complete media detection through container or hose walls – without any contact with the medium.
EBE’s QCRC sensors record capacitive and conductive measured values simultaneously and in real time. In the QCRC series, all measuring electrodes
are fully integrated on the sensor. This enables sensors in a very small design of only 1.18 x 1.18 inches without additional components. The sensor delivers I²C measurement values immediately after installation and is therefore ideal for fast and cost-effective use in series applications.
Continuous Measurement without Contact with Media
The QCRC sensors are based on a further developed version of EBE’s in-house corTEC® technology. Thanks to this, fluids can now be detected completely
contactlessly from outside the tank wall. The sensors reliably detect fluid properties even in closed containers and hoses. This increases process reliability
enormously and enables safe use even in hygiene-sensitive or closed systems.
Wide Range of Applications with High Measuring Accuracy and Low Costs
The QCRC sensors cover a wide range of capacitive (typ. 1 fF to 1000 fF) and conductive measured values (conductance from approx. 0.01 to 1000 mS). This
makes them suitable for detecting a wide range of substances – from gases and liquids to highly viscous substances and solids. They are typically used in food processing, medical technology and the pharmaceutical industry as well as in IoT and consumer applications.
Evaluation Kit for Easy Integration
EBE offers a comprehensive evaluation kit for the QCRC sensor for quick evaluation. It contains all the necessary components for commissioning and
allows users to test the sensor technology directly in their application. This enables rapid integration into series products and significantly shortens the
development time. With the QCRC series, EBE thus offers a compact, robust and ready-to-use sensor solution for high-precision detection of fluid properties – ideal
for demanding OEM applications with high cost and process reliability
