SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K inductive proximity sensor with 15mm flush sensing, PNP output, IP67 housing for reliable metal detection in automation systems.
The SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K inductive proximity sensor is a compact M30 sensor engineered for precise, non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial environments. With a 15 mm flush sensing distance, PNP normally open output, and a rugged nickel-plated brass housing, it addresses the need for stable and repeatable detection where space, durability, and accuracy are critical. Designed for dependable operation under vibration, temperature variation, and electrical noise, this sensor is well suited for continuous operation in demanding automation systems.
The SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K supports high-speed processes with a fast switching response, making it effective for monitoring moving parts and positions on automated equipment. Its flush-mount construction allows clean installation into metal surfaces while maintaining consistent sensing behavior. Integrated electrical protection safeguards both the sensor and connected control hardware, helping reduce unexpected failures. In practical applications such as conveyors, machine tools, and assembly lines, this sensor improves process reliability, minimizes maintenance intervention, and supports long-term system stability.
The SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K is chosen when reliability, mechanical strength, and installation efficiency matter. Its short-body M30 design delivers a strong 15 mm flush sensing range without occupying excessive space, making it ideal for compact machine layouts. Stable switching performance, even under vibration and temperature changes, ensures predictable behavior over long operating hours. For engineers seeking a sensor that “just works” with minimal tuning, this model offers confidence, longevity, and consistent detection accuracy.
The SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K solves the challenge of detecting metal targets reliably in harsh, space-constrained industrial environments. Mechanical switches wear out, optical sensors struggle with dust or oil, and non-flush sensors can be damaged in tight installations. This inductive sensor eliminates physical contact, resists contamination, and allows flush mounting into metal surfaces, reducing failure risk while ensuring dependable position and presence detection in continuous production operations.

In automated assembly and packaging lines, the SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K is commonly installed along conveyors to confirm the presence of metal components before downstream operations. Its 15 mm flush sensing range allows safe mounting directly into metal frames, protecting the sensor from mechanical impact. The high switching frequency enables reliable detection of fast-moving parts such as brackets, housings, or fasteners. Unlike mechanical limit switches, this inductive sensor operates without contact, eliminating wear and reducing maintenance. As a result, production flow remains stable, misfeeds are avoided, and automated systems can stop or divert products immediately when a component is missing.
CNC machining processes rely on precise workpiece positioning to prevent tool damage and scrap. The SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K is used to verify that metal workpieces are correctly seated before machining cycles begin. Its stable sensing performance ensures reliable detection even in environments with vibration, coolant mist, and metal chips. Flush installation protects the sensor from accidental contact with moving parts. By providing a clear position signal to the machine controller, it prevents machining on improperly loaded parts, improves operator safety, and reduces costly downtime caused by crashes or rejected components.
In automotive body-in-white welding stations, fixtures and jigs must be precisely aligned before robotic welding starts. The SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K is applied to confirm the presence and correct positioning of metal panels and fixtures. Its robust metal housing and IP67 protection allow continuous operation near heat, oil, and welding residue. Fast response time ensures immediate feedback to the control system, preventing welding cycles if alignment is incorrect. This helps maintain consistent weld quality, reduces rework, and supports high production throughput in demanding automotive manufacturing environments.
Automated material handling and sorting systems often need to distinguish metal items from non-metal materials. The SICK IME30-15BPSZW2K is integrated into sorting lines to detect metal objects as they pass through defined checkpoints. Its non-contact sensing eliminates false readings caused by dust or surface contamination. The sensor’s consistent repeatability allows control systems to trigger actuators or diverters with precise timing. This improves sorting accuracy, reduces manual intervention, and enhances overall system efficiency in recycling plants, logistics centers, and mixed-material production facilities.
