Benchtop Capacitive Sensing

Benchtop capacitive sensing involves detecting the presence or proximity of an object by measuring changes in electrical capacity. It uses a sensor connected to a circuit that can sense how close an object (like a hand or tool) is without physical contact. When the object approaches the sensor, it alters the electric field, changing the capacitance. The system then interprets these changes to perform tasks like measurement, control, or automation. This technology is precise, reliable, and widely used in testing, research, and development environments on laboratory benches.
