Industrial Applications

1. Conveyor Belt Object Detection in Harsh Environments

This sensor can reliably detect the presence of metallic objects on a conveyor belt, such as product carriers or components, even in dusty or wet industrial settings, ensuring continuous and accurate material flow.

Problem Solved

Ensures accurate material flow control and prevents jams or misfeeds by detecting metallic parts. The IP67 rating protects against dust and water, and the brass housing offers robustness. The 5mm flush sensing distance is ideal for direct object detection close to the sensor.

2. Machine Tool Position Sensing

Used to precisely determine the end-of-travel or home position of metallic moving parts in machine tools, such as slides, clamps, or robotic arms, providing critical feedback for automated processes.

Problem Solved

Provides accurate and repeatable position feedback for machine control, preventing over-travel and ensuring correct tool alignment. The flush mounting and M18 size allow for integration into tight spaces, while the wide 5-60V DC voltage range simplifies electrical integration.
