[Answer/Discuss]( TECH ARTICLE [] [Operating Principles for Capacitive Proximity Sensors]( "Capacitive proximity sensors are used for non-contact detection of metallic objects and nonmetallic objects (liquid, plastic, wooden materials, and so on). Capacitive proximity sensors use the variation of capacitance between the sensor and the object being detected. When the object is at a preset distance from the sensitive side of the sensor, an electronic circuit inside the sensor begins to oscillate." [Read this article in its entirety](.
