The Applications

1. Precision Position Detection in Robotic Grippers

In automated assembly systems, robotic grippers must identify jaw positions within extremely limited space. The IME08-02BNSZW2K sensor fits seamlessly beside the moving jaws, detecting precise metal alignment without contact. Its 4 kHz switching speed provides instant feedback to the control system, ensuring synchronized gripping actions. The rugged nickel-plated housing and strong resistance to vibration keep measurements consistent even during rapid mechanical movements, minimizing positioning errors and ensuring production efficiency.

2. High-Speed Metal Part Sensing on Feeder Lines

During component feeding or sorting, small metallic parts travel rapidly along conveyor channels. The IME08-02BNSZW2K delivers stable detection for each part, even under fast-moving conditions, thanks to its high switching frequency and short 2 mm sensing range. Its compact M8 body enables installation within tight feeder frames, preventing misreads or double counts. This precise detection helps machines maintain consistent feed rates and reduces costly production downtime due to part misplacement or undetected jams.

3. Stroke End Monitoring for Pneumatic Cylinders

In pneumatic systems, accurate end-of-stroke feedback ensures smooth and safe operation. The IME08-02BNSZW2K can be embedded at cylinder ends to confirm metal piston arrival without physical contact. Its flush-mount design provides compact placement, while temperature stability and vibration resistance keep signals accurate under continuous motion. This improves machine safety, reduces mechanical wear, and supports longer equipment life in high-speed production environments.

4. Presence Verification in Metal Stamping Operations

In metal forming and stamping lines, ensuring every part is correctly placed before the press activates is essential. The IME08-02BNSZW2K sensor verifies the presence of small components before each cycle, helping avoid tool damage and scrap production. Its IP67 enclosure withstands dust, oil mist, and metal debris commonly found in stamping machines. By providing dependable detection and rapid response, it enhances process reliability and reduces unplanned maintenance downtime.
