Inductive proximity sensors made for metalworking
Proximity sensors from ifm electronic are designed to resist contact with metal components and have a long-lasting anti-spatter coating.
Just launched at Hanover 2006, the diffuse reflection sensors with background suppression the range is 10-250mm, with a potentiometer for setting the sensitivity.
The variant with polarisation filter provides ranges between 30 and 4000mm, and the through-beam sensor reaches up to 20m.
All sensors use visible red light, which simplifies alignment.
This new family, from ifm electronic, will be complemented in short order by even more powerful units packed with more features, yet all in the robust steel housing with the industrially standard M12 connectors.
The protection rating of the photocells is IP 65 or IP 67.
All sensors can be used on a 10-36V DC supply.
The outputs are protected against short circuit and overload as well as reverse polarity.
A yellow LED indicates functions and switching status.
The high switching frequency of 1,000Hz allows reliable detection of fast processes.
Ifm electronic offers a wide selection of mounting solutions for these sensors that allow easy and secure installation. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
