Industrial Applications

1. Metal part presence verification on conveyor lines

Detects ferrous or conductive metal targets at 8 mm nominal distance in a non-flush M18 body, making it suitable for confirming part arrival on conveyors or transfer stations.

Problem Solved

Eliminates missed part-present signals in tight mechanical envelopes where a rugged IP67 sensor is needed.

2. Machine guard and fixture position confirmation

The stainless M18 housing and 10–60 VDC operation suit fixture or mechanism end-position sensing on industrial machines where vibration and contamination are present.

Problem Solved

Provides reliable position feedback in harsh factory environments without optical contamination issues.

3. Wet-area metal detection in packaging or handling equipment

IP67 sealing, PVC cable, and stainless construction support use near washdown or moisture-prone equipment for presence sensing of metal stops, carriers, or tooling.

Problem Solved

Maintains stable switching in wet or dusty areas where sealed sensors are required.
