1. Intrinsically Safe Level/Position Detection in Chemical Processing
This sensor can precisely detect the presence or position of internal components, such as float switches or valve actuators, within tanks containing hazardous chemicals. Its NAMUR output ensures intrinsic safety, making it suitable for Zone 0/20 hazardous areas. The stainless steel housing and PVDF sensing face offer excellent resistance to corrosive media, while the IP68 rating protects against splashes and submersion. The SIL 2 compliance adds a layer of safety for critical level monitoring.
Problem SolvedSafely and reliably detects the presence or position of metallic objects in highly corrosive and potentially explosive chemical environments, preventing spills or improper valve operation.

2. High-Speed Small Part Detection on Packaging Machinery
The 2 mm flush sensing distance and high switching frequency (up to 3000 Hz) make this sensor ideal for detecting small metallic components or package elements moving rapidly on a conveyor belt or within packaging machinery. Its compact ø11x30mm size allows for integration into tight spaces, and the IP68 rating ensures it can withstand dust and washdowns common in packaging plants. The robust construction provides durability against potential impacts.
Problem SolvedAccurately and quickly detects small, fast-moving metallic objects in automated packaging processes, preventing jams, ensuring correct product assembly, or verifying package contents.

3. Robust Tool Breakage Monitoring in CNC Machining Centers
Mounted flush within a CNC machine, this inductive sensor can reliably detect the presence of a metal cutting tool. Its small sensing distance of 2 mm allows for precise monitoring of tool integrity. If a tool breaks, the absence of the metal object is immediately detected, stopping the machine and preventing damage to the workpiece or machine. The robust stainless steel housing and IP68 rating protect against coolant, metal chips, and harsh vibrations in the machining environment, and the wide operating temperature handles thermal fluctuations.
Problem SolvedPrevents costly damage to workpieces and machinery by instantly detecting broken metal cutting tools in harsh CNC machining environments.
