In automated conveyor systems, dependable pallet detection is essential to maintain continuous material flow and prevent process interruptions. The SICK IME30-20NNSZW2K is widely applied to sense metal pallet bases or integrated steel plates as pallets approach transfer or stop positions. Its extended 20 mm sensing range tolerates mechanical variation caused by vibration or long-term wear. The non-flush M30 construction maximizes detection distance, while the IP67-rated housing ensures stable performance in dusty or occasionally wet environments commonly found in logistics and distribution operations.
Accurate end-position detection is critical for pneumatic and hydraulic actuators to operate safely and consistently. This sensor can be mounted to detect metal pistons or actuator targets without physical contact, eliminating mechanical wear. The compact short-body design allows installation in confined machine structures, while the wide DC supply range simplifies control system integration. Electrical protection features enhance reliability during maintenance activities. Consistent switching behavior helps maintain precise motion control in packaging equipment, assembly lines, and industrial automation systems.
Machining centers require reliable confirmation that tools are correctly positioned before operation begins. The IME30-20NNSZW2K is often installed near tool holders or fixtures to verify the presence of metal tools. Its stable sensing characteristics reduce false detection caused by coolant spray, metal chips, or vibration. The durable metal housing withstands harsh machining conditions, while repeatable switching accuracy supports consistent detection over long production cycles, helping prevent tool damage and costly machine downtime.
Automated assembly lines depend on precise counting of metal components to maintain product quality and throughput. This inductive sensor is used to count steel parts moving through feeders, slides, or conveyor tracks. High switching capability enables detection of fast-moving or closely spaced parts without missed signals. Non-contact operation minimizes wear and maintenance requirements, while strong resistance to electrical noise ensures stable counting performance in demanding industrial environments.
