SICK IME12-04NNOZW2S inductive proximity sensor with 4 mm range, M12 non-flush design, NPN NC output, IP67 housing for reliable metal detection.
The SICK IME12-04NNOZW2S inductive proximity sensor is a compact M12 sensor engineered for accurate, contactless detection of metal targets in industrial automation systems. With a 4 mm sensing distance, non-flush mounting design, and NPN normally closed output, it effectively addresses positioning and presence detection challenges in tight mechanical layouts. The rugged nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 protection enable reliable operation in environments exposed to dust, vibration, and moisture, making it well suited for machinery, handling equipment, and automated production lines.
Designed for continuous industrial duty, the SICK IME12-04NNOZW2S delivers consistent switching performance at high speeds, supporting applications that require rapid and repeatable object detection. Its non-flush construction improves detection stability on exposed metal parts, while the wide DC supply range simplifies electrical integration across different control systems. Integrated protective circuits help safeguard equipment during power fluctuations and wiring faults, reducing maintenance risk. This combination of durability, electrical robustness, and precise sensing contributes to higher machine uptime and dependable long-term operation in real production environments.
The SICK IME12-04NNOZW2S stands out for engineers who need dependable metal detection in compact, high-demand installations. Its M12 form factor allows easy integration into space-constrained machinery, while the non-flush design delivers stable sensing on exposed metal targets. Built for industrial longevity, it combines fast switching response, strong resistance to vibration and electrical noise, and protective circuitry that safeguards connected systems. This sensor is chosen when reliability, repeatability, and low maintenance are critical to sustaining production efficiency.
The SICK IME12-04NNOZW2S solves the challenge of accurately detecting metal objects without physical contact in harsh industrial environments. Traditional mechanical switches suffer from wear, misalignment, and downtime, while poorly protected sensors struggle with noise and vibration. This inductive sensor eliminates contact-related failures, maintains consistent detection even at high speeds, and performs reliably despite dust, moisture, or temperature changes. As a result, it ensures precise position feedback, reduces unplanned stoppages, and supports stable automation performance over long operating cycles.

In automated conveyor systems, accurate detection of metal carriers or fixtures is critical to prevent misrouting and stoppages. This sensor is mounted along the conveyor structure to confirm pallet or carrier position before diversion or indexing occurs. Its high switching frequency supports fast-moving lines without missed signals, even when spacing between items is minimal. The non-flush installation improves detection reliability when metal targets are partially exposed or slightly misaligned. With a sealed housing resistant to dust and vibration, the sensor maintains stable operation over long production cycles, helping manufacturers sustain throughput and reduce unplanned downtime.
Machine tools such as CNC mills and automated presses require reliable end-position feedback to protect mechanical components. This sensor is installed near sliding tables or rotating elements to detect steel reference points at defined travel limits. The normally closed output supports fail-safe logic, allowing the control system to detect faults immediately if power or signal integrity is lost. Its compact cylindrical design fits into confined machine spaces, while the robust metal housing resists coolant mist and metal particles. This setup improves operational safety, minimizes mechanical wear, and ensures consistent machine motion control.
On automated assembly lines, confirming that metal parts are correctly positioned before processing is essential for quality control. The sensor is placed close to assembly fixtures to verify component presence prior to fastening, welding, or robotic transfer. Its stable sensing characteristics ensure repeatable detection despite minor part tolerance variations. Strong immunity to electrical interference allows reliable operation near motors and drives. By replacing mechanical switches, the system reduces maintenance demands and avoids downtime caused by physical contact wear, resulting in higher line efficiency and more consistent product quality.
Packaging equipment depends on precise timing to synchronize cutting, sealing, and labeling functions. In these machines, the sensor detects rotating metal cams or shafts to provide accurate position feedback for sequencing control. Its fast response supports high-speed operation without signal lag, even during continuous cycles. The wide operating voltage range simplifies integration into existing electrical systems, while internal protection features help guard against wiring faults. This contributes to reliable timing accuracy, fewer process errors, and stable performance in high-volume packaging environments.
