Noncontact water detection
Using a laser beam tuned to the resonant frequency of a water molecule, the SA1W sensor is able to detect any liquid or paste containing water molecules - without contact.
Using a laser beam tuned to the resonant frequency of a water molecule, the SA1W sensor is able to detect any liquid or paste containing water molecules - without contact Capable of detecting liquids through clear or translucent containers the SA1W has a long sensing range of up to 800mm and can use either through beam or diffuse reflected fibre cables
The SA1W uses a small diameter laser beam for precise level detection and has a visible red spot for easy targeting and alignment.
It eliminates many of the problems associated with other photoelectric sensors, capacitive sensors, ultrasonic sensors, vision systems or moisture meters.
