Filling level
Filling levels can be measured directly or indirectly in many ways using displacement sensors. The confocal principle is usually applied for liquids in doing so. The filling level measurement for solids is comparable with a distance measurement. Micro-Epsilon makes many different options possible due to the extensive range of different sensors.
