Capacitive fill level measurement

With more than 30 years' experience in the area of capacitive fill level measurement,
CAPTRON has developed into a reputable innovation leader. The capacitive measuring
method enables fluids, bulk solids and other substances in containers, tanks and silos to
be accurately and continually measured. Every sector in industry has very specific
demands when it comes to measurement technology. Depending on the type and nature
of the contents and taking into account process conditions, CAPTRON makes available
an individually configurable level sensor that has been adapted to the measuring point.
Using the CAPselect system for level sensors, you can assemble your sensor as
required.

Optical Sensors
Optical sensors can be used for correctly detecting, capturing and positioning objects.
Our products stand for maximum precision, reliability and quality, as well as for easy
installation, irrespective of whether this is an infrared, red light or laser light barrier. One
of our developed custom-built products is the laser TCP unit for accurate zero point
centring of industrial robots adapted entirely to your individual requirements on
request.

Capacitive fluid sensors

Infinitely variable and continual fill level measurement
industry, the principle of capacitive fill level measurement is considered to be a
true all-rounder. A change in capacity in a container is measured. This is then converted
to a signal and displayed. Measurement of the fill level occurs steplessly and continually.
Level sensors from CAPTRON can be used for easy and accurate measurement of
fluids, solid bulk as well as chemically aggressive materials such as sulphuric or nitric
acid. Thanks to the use of top-quality materials such as stainless steel, Teflon and
PEEK, CAPTRON level sensors
where required, also hygienic

are particularly robust and resistant , and

Every sector has particular product and material specification requirements as regards
fill level measurement technology. The CAPselect system from CAPTRON offers
maximum individuality for assembling level sensors, which can be configured according
to application area and medium. Ongoing adaptations to common norms and regulations

mean that CAPTRON level sensors are particularly well suited for the foodstuffs and
pharmaceutical sectors.

PROBES
DescriptionThe probe amplifier is firmly connected to the rod probe via a
process connection. After installation, the probe amplifier can be moved to the
desired position up to 350 by unscrewing the fixing screw. It is also available in
hygienic version (V4A)

Capacitive Proximity Switch:

Capacitive Proximity Sensor is designed to detect, and react to

any object which moves into the operating zone. The sensor
contains an oscillator. The capacitance of this oscillator is
linked with the sensing face and when any object moves into
the operating zone; its capacitance activates the oscillator. The
sensor can detect conductive as well as non conductive
material. It is advisable to have an object with permittivity
more than one. The conductive objects are generally to be
earthed for better results.

ACOUSTICS WITH MEMS: CAPACITIVE MICROMACHINED ULTRASONIC

TRANSDUCER (CMUT) FROM RESEARCH TO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (CMUT) are MEMS based
structures that can be used to generate and sense acoustic signals in the
ultrasonic range. Interest on CMUTs is rising due to the quality of the acoustic
signal they provide, ease of integration with CMOS and because their
dimensional characteristics enable to broaden the applications of ultrasonics. At
Fraunhofer IPMS we are working to shift CMUTs from a research to a
commercial environment. Ultrasonic transducers are present in everyday life in
the form of level sensors, speed sensors and medical imaging systems among
others. Current ultrasonic transducers are usually built using piezoelectric
materials and have proven to do a great job. CMUT technology can however
broaden the applications and fields where ultrasounds could be used, in addition
to avoiding undesired materials (Pb) and allowing easy integration with CMOS
integrated circuits. The CMUT is essentially a MEMS structure comprising two
electrodes facing each other, one of which is fixed and the other is movable. The
two electrodes are separated by an insulating layer and an air gap. CMUTs can
operate on transmit and receive mode, by converting electrical energy into
acoustic energy or vice versa through the displacement of the movable electrode.
Over the last two decades, Prof. Khuri-Yakubs group at Stanford University and
several other research groups have demonstrated the capabilities of the CMUTs,
and have worked on all the different parts (MEMS, beam forming, drivers, readout, etc.) required for the CMUTs to work. However, and although trials have
been made to bring CMUTs to commercial products, there is still no product
available in the European nor US market using this technology. One of the issues
that could explain this situation are the strict requirements presented for the new
ultrasonic applications, such as homogeneity among transducer elements within
large arrays and reliability of the MEMS, which is a difficult target to meet in a
research fab. Fraunhofer IPMS can address this by making use of the in-house
wafer fabrication facility. In this facility, the Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) product
range is being produced with similar element homogeneity requirement as for
CMUTs. Furthermore, an in-house developed CMOS process as well as
experience on integrating MEMS on top of CMOS wafers are available at
Fraunhofer IPMS, which can contribute to the CMUT project. Fraunhofer IPMS
started developing CMUTs in the last quarter of 2012, and since then, a
committed team of engineers have completed several tasks. To start with, a
sacrificial release process CHIP ON CARRIER CONTAINING MANY CMUT
ARRAYS 4 | MEMS Report 2 / 2013 So far, the results obtained are very
promising. The characterization activities are now progressing towards obtaining
the first acoustic measurements using an hydrophone system. In addition to the
team, many of the CMUT experts around the globe have been approached, and
all have shown their interest to support Fraunhofer IPMS with their expertise,

which has already been useful and we really appreciate. At this stage, we are
looking into the requirements for different applications, ranging from medical to
non-destructive testing applications, but more interestingly looking for new
applications where CMUTs can provide a definite advantage over current
ultrasonic transducers. In fact, the aim is to develop applications for customers
that could benefit from this new technology. Therefore, we invite everyone
interested on developing new ultrasonic applications to contact us to explore the
possibilities of CMUTs. was adopted for the fabrication of the CMUTs. This was
preferred over the wafer bonding technique alternative, as many of the
fabrication steps were already characterized over the last years during the SLM
projects. At the same time, a complete process flow was specified, including
materials and available film thicknesses. Initial FEM models of the CMUT
elements were built to explore the design space, and several CMUT designs
were selected to obtain resonant frequencies in the range of 1 to 50 MHz.
Dimensions of CMUT elements ranged between 10 and 100 m, and are to be
packed in groups of a few hundred, meaning that all these CMUTs operate as a
single structure. Even though many of the fabrication steps have previously been
characterized for the SLMs, it was necessary to explore parameters, such as the
deposition stresses and the release times for different number of release holes
and CMUT dimensions in a wafer lot. As an extension to this experimental wafer
lot, the cavities where sealed and electrical contact pads added, yielding the first
testable CMUTs built by Fraunhofer IPMS.
