The use of pneumatic loaders that incorporate a sight glass is increasing in the plastics processing industry. The ifm efector non-flush mount KNM switch is ideal for controlling the proper level of material in the sight glass. The switch has a microprocessor and a pushbutton that can be used to "teach" the empty and full condition. This simple calibration process results in a setpoint that has a maximum margin of safety in the application. Once the setup is complete, the switch will reliably sense all types of materials through the sight glass.
