SICK IME30-15BPSZC0S Inductive Proximity Sensor, 15 mm

SICK IME30-15BPSZC0S Inductive Proximity Sensor – Durable 15 mm Metal Detection

The SICK IME30-15BPSZC0S inductive proximity sensor is designed for dependable metal detection in everyday industrial use. With a 15 mm sensing distance, a rugged M30 flush-mount housing, and a sealed IP67 design, it provides stable performance even when exposed to dust, moisture, or vibration. Its PNP normally open output, fast response capability, and broad 10–30 V DC operating range make it suitable for many automation tasks. This sensor offers a combination of strength, accuracy, and easy installation, making it a practical solution for machinery builders and general factory automation needs.

The IME30-15BPSZC0S improves production reliability by delivering consistent detection results, even as environmental conditions change. Its nickel-plated brass housing resists wear, while the reinforced sensing face helps maintain long service life. The quick switching behavior supports applications such as metal presence verification, counting, and positioning on high-speed equipment. Flush mounting helps protect the sensor from accidental impacts and simplifies alignment within compact mechanical designs. With built-in electrical protections and a wide operating temperature range, this model reduces unplanned downtime and performs dependably in demanding, round-the-clock industrial environments.

Why IME30-15BPSZC0S?

The IME30-15BPSZC0S stands out because it blends long sensing range, rugged construction, and fast response in one compact M30 device. It’s built to keep working even when machines vibrate, temperatures shift, or surfaces collect dust. This sensor gives engineers the confidence that metal detection will stay consistent, stable, and maintenance-friendly across demanding production lines.

What Problem Does It Solve?

The IME30-15BPSZC0S eliminates unreliable or inconsistent metal detection that slows down automated systems. It solves the challenge of achieving steady switching performance in harsh, unpredictable environments where dirt, vibration, or mechanical stress typically cause sensor failures. By providing dependable detection and strong environmental resilience, it reduces downtime and prevents costly miscounts or positioning errors.

The Applications

1. Conveyor Metal Presence Verification in Packaging Equipment

In automated packaging lines, metal trays, plates, or machine components often pass through stations that depend on precise timing. The IME30-15BPSZC0S can be installed along conveyor rails to verify each metal item before labeling, filling, or sorting occurs. Its 15 mm detection distance compensates for natural movement or minor height differences on the belt. With fast response capability, the sensor keeps up with continuous, rapid product flow. The rugged, sealed housing withstands vibration and moisture from cleaning cycles, reducing unexpected misreads. This helps maintain synchronized system performance and prevents missing or misaligned items from advancing down the line.

2. Fixture Position Checking in Automotive Metal Assembly

Automotive assembly stations rely on sensors to ensure metal parts sit correctly against fixtures before robotic tools begin their tasks. The IME30-15BPSZC0S can be embedded into clamping blocks to confirm sheet metal panels, brackets, or frames are positioned accurately. Its flush-mount design keeps it protected from accidental bumps, tool movement, and minor weld spatter. With consistent switching behavior, the sensor enables the control system to verify alignment instantly, preventing welding or fastening operations when a part is out of place. This improves assembly precision, reduces scrap, and helps maintain the demanding cycle times common in automotive production.

3. Gear and Shaft Confirmation in Mechanical Assembly Lines

In gearbox or motor assembly, verifying the presence of metal gears, bearings, or shafts is essential before proceeding to lubrication or casing steps. The IME30-15BPSZC0S can detect these components as they are placed into assembly nests by operators or robots. Its sensing stability works well with the slight dimensional variations common between different gear types. The durable brass housing tolerates shock and occasional tool impact, while its resistance to oil mist prevents detection issues in heavily lubricated environments. This ensures that each component is present before sealing, reducing rework and improving the overall reliability of mechanical assembly workflows.

4. Gate and Stop Position Monitoring in Warehouse Automation

Automated material-handling systems rely on accurate feedback to know whether lift gates, metal stops, or safety latches are fully open or closed. The IME30-15BPSZC0S can be positioned near moving metal plates to detect their final positions with precision. Its 15 mm sensing capability allows for slight misalignments that may occur as gates or mechanisms wear over time. The sensor’s resistance to shock and vibration ensures reliable operation on constantly moving steel structures. By providing consistent positional confirmation, it prevents unintended equipment motion and maintains safe, uninterrupted operation in modern warehouse and intralogistics environments.
