The SICK IQ10-06NPSKWDSS08 inductive proximity sensor is designed for precise metal detection in compact machinery where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. With a 6 mm sensing range, non-flush mounting, and a high 2,000 Hz switching frequency, it responds quickly to fast-moving components. Its rugged IP68 enclosure and VISTAL® housing allow the sensor to operate confidently in dusty, wet, or vibration-prone environments. This PNP, normally-open model offers stable detection for indexing, positioning, and presence-checking tasks in various automated systems.
Engineered for demanding automation lines, the IQ10-06NPSKWDSS08 combines a slim rectangular body with dependable switching behavior, giving designers flexibility when installing sensors in narrow machine frames. Its low temperature drift and wide –25 °C to +75 °C operating range ensure consistent measurements throughout long production cycles. The integrated 2.5-meter cable simplifies wiring, while its unique oscillator design helps reduce interference when multiple sensors operate close together. Whether used for metal part positioning, detection on compact conveyors, or presence verification in assembly equipment, it enhances accuracy and supports smooth, uninterrupted machine performance.
The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS08 is ideal when you need accurate metal detection in places where every millimeter matters. It delivers fast switching, stable performance, and exceptional durability despite its compact size. This model is crafted for tight automation spaces, offering reliability that stays consistent even under vibration, temperature shifts, or continuous high-speed machine cycles.
This sensor eliminates the common challenge of unreliable detection in cramped or high-speed environments. It provides precise, repeatable switching where conventional sensors struggle—whether due to interference, restricted mounting space, or harsh operating conditions. It ensures components are counted, positioned, and verified correctly, reducing downtime and preventing costly process errors.

In small automated assembly stations, metal components often travel through confined tracks or fixtures where standard sensors are too bulky. The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS08 solves this by fitting into narrow mounting points while still providing dependable detection. It can verify if a metal piece is fully positioned before pressing, riveting, or fastening occurs, helping avoid misalignment or tool collisions. Its high switching speed supports rapid part movement, and the rugged housing resists dust, shock, and oil mist commonly found near mechanical tooling. This ensures each assembly step proceeds only when the component is correctly placed, improving consistency and reducing production errors.
Manufacturers handling thin or light metal parts—such as shims, caps, clips, or stamped brackets—often face difficulty detecting items as they move quickly along narrow conveyors. The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS08 provides sensitive and repeatable detection even when parts vary slightly in shape. Its non-flush sensing range allows it to capture the presence of metal items without contact, keeping the process smooth and uninterrupted. The sensor’s fast response ensures accurate counting and spacing, which is essential for synchronized feeding into packaging, sorting, or weighing machines. Its compact design lets engineers mount it close to belt edges without obstructing material flow.
Robotic arms operating in close quarters need reliable confirmation that a metal part is securely gripped before initiating movement. The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS08 can be mounted directly beside the gripper fingers to detect the presence of the target object the moment it is clamped. This reduces the risk of a robot transporting an empty grip or dropping a component mid-motion. Its quick switching capability makes it suitable for fast pick-and-place tasks, while its durable construction withstands repetitive robotic cycles. This application improves handling accuracy, prevents crashes, and supports uninterrupted operation in metalworking, electronics, and precision assembly environments.
Sorting equipment that separates metal pieces from mixed materials relies on sensors that can handle rapid object movement without missing a target. The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS08 is well-suited for such systems thanks to its high switching frequency and stable detection range. It can identify passing metal tags, carriers, or components even when spacing is minimal. Its construction holds up against vibration and ambient temperature variation, ensuring reliable output signals. Multiple sensors can be placed close together without interference, enabling multi-lane sorting setups. This leads to more accurate classification, fewer false triggers, and a higher throughput in automated material-handling operations.
