SICK IME30-20NNSZC0K inductive proximity sensor with 20 mm sensing range, M30 non-flush design, IP67 housing for reliable industrial metal detection.
The SICK IME30-20NNSZC0K inductive proximity sensor is a heavy-duty M30 sensor designed for accurate, contactless detection of metal targets in industrial environments. It solves the common problem of unreliable sensing caused by dust, oil, vibration, or mechanical wear. With a long 20 mm sensing distance and non-flush mounting design, it provides stable detection even when installed behind metal surfaces. The short-body housing supports compact machine layouts, while the IP67-rated construction ensures dependable operation in demanding automation, material handling, and production line applications.
In practical use, the SICK IME30-20NNSZC0K enhances machine uptime by delivering consistent switching performance in fast and continuous processes. Its NPN normally open output integrates easily with standard control systems, while the high switching frequency supports accurate detection of moving components. The rugged nickel-plated brass housing resists mechanical stress, temperature variation, and vibration. These characteristics make the sensor well suited for conveyors, packaging machinery, and assembly systems where precise metal detection improves process reliability, reduces false signals, and minimizes maintenance requirements.
Why SICK IME30-20NNSZC0K?
The SICK IME30-20NNSZC0K is chosen when reliability matters more than compromises. Its extended 20 mm sensing distance, non-flush mounting capability, and compact M30 short-body design allow engineers to achieve precise metal detection even in crowded or mechanically demanding installations. Built for harsh industrial conditions, it combines stable switching performance with long service life, making it a dependable choice for systems that must operate continuously without unexpected downtime.
What problem does it solve?
This sensor eliminates inconsistent metal detection caused by vibration, contamination, or mechanical wear. In applications where contact-based switches fail or flush-mounted sensors fall short in sensing distance, the IME30-20NNSZC0K provides accurate, non-contact detection. It ensures dependable presence monitoring of metallic components, reducing false triggers, preventing missed detections, and maintaining smooth, predictable operation across automated machinery and production lines.

In automated conveyor lines, confirming the exact position of steel pallets is essential to avoid jams and transfer errors. The IME30-20NNSZC0K is installed alongside pallet frames to verify arrival before lifting or diverting actions occur. Its extended 20 mm non-flush sensing distance allows reliable detection even when the sensor is protected behind metal guards. Stable switching at varying conveyor speeds prevents missed signals caused by vibration. The sealed housing withstands dust and debris, helping maintain continuous material flow while reducing unexpected stoppages and manual intervention.
Press and forming equipment depend on accurate end-position feedback to protect tools and maintain consistent part quality. The IME30-20NNSZC0K detects the presence of steel slides or rams without physical contact, eliminating mechanical wear. Its rugged construction tolerates shock and vibration generated during each cycle, while the longer sensing range simplifies alignment during installation. Reliable detection ensures controlled motion, prevents overtravel, and supports repeatable operation in high-force industrial environments where precision and durability are critical.
Packaging machinery often operates at high cycle rates where timing errors can lead to scrap or machine faults. The IME30-20NNSZC0K is used to monitor the position of metal components such as sealing units or guides. Fast response capability supports rapid motion, while the non-flush mounting design maintains performance near surrounding metal parts. Resistance to oil mist and regular cleaning helps ensure stable sensing over long production runs, improving synchronization and reducing downtime in continuous packaging operations.
In automated assembly cells, fixtures and tool carriers must be correctly positioned before fastening or joining processes begin. The IME30-20NNSZC0K verifies the presence of metal fixtures to ensure safe cycle start conditions. Its compact M30 short-body design fits into tight installation spaces, while stable performance under vibration and temperature variation prevents false signals. This application improves process reliability, reduces assembly errors, and helps ensure only correctly aligned components move forward in the production line.
