vr1a-oliebest – capacitive sensor
Carlo Gavazzi VR1A-OLIEBEST is an industrial capacitive sensor designed for non-contact detection of suitable conductive and non-conductive materials in automation and process applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VR1A-OLIEBEST Capacitive Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi VR1A-OLIEBEST is an industrial capacitive sensor designed for reliable presence and material detection in automation and process applications. Capacitive sensing technology enables detection of both conductive and non-conductive materials, making this sensor suitable for applications where conventional inductive sensing may not be appropriate.
The VR1A-OLIEBEST can be incorporated into automated machinery and material-handling systems to provide dependable object or material detection. Capacitive sensors respond to changes in the electrical field around the sensing surface, allowing them to detect materials such as liquids, plastics, powders and other substances when correctly configured for the application.
As a Carlo Gavazzi industrial sensing product, the VR1A-OLIEBEST provides a practical solution for machine builders, control engineers and maintenance teams requiring capacitive detection within industrial automation equipment.

Reliable Capacitive Detection for Industrial Automation
Capacitive sensors operate by generating an electrostatic field at the sensing surface and monitoring changes in capacitance caused by a target entering that field. Unlike inductive proximity sensors, which are primarily intended for metallic targets, capacitive sensors can detect a broader range of materials, including many non-metallic substances.
This operating principle makes the Carlo Gavazzi VR1A-OLIEBEST suitable for industrial applications involving material presence, product detection and process monitoring where the target may be liquid, plastic, powder or another suitable conductive or non-conductive material.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Presence detection of non-metallic materials.
- Liquid and bulk-material detection.
- Plastic, packaging and container detection.
- Powder and granular material monitoring.
- Material handling and production equipment.
