Featuring a 6 mm sensing range, PNP normally open output, and robust IP68 enclosure, it delivers reliable performance even when exposed to dust, vibration, or moisture. Its slim 10 × 28 × 16 mm housing makes it suitable for mounting in narrow machine frames or alongside fast-moving parts. With a high 2,000 Hz switching frequency, it supports rapid automation tasks, enabling stable detection in sorting, counting, and positioning applications. Durable VISTAL® housing and a 2.5 m cable make integration simple and long-lasting.
The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS10 is built to offer consistent, repeatable detection in demanding environments. Its non-flush design provides improved sensing stability, while low hysteresis helps maintain accurate switching points even as equipment moves or temperatures fluctuate. The sensor withstands strong shock and vibration forces, ensuring dependable operation in high-cycle machinery. With quick startup and a wide voltage range, it integrates easily into modern control systems. This combination of durability, speed, and compact sizing makes it ideal for tasks such as presence checking, part alignment, conveyor automation, and metal object verification, especially where installation space is extremely limited.
Choose the SICK IQ10-06NPSKWDSS10 when you need a compact sensor that performs like a full-sized industrial detector. Its small rectangular footprint hides a surprisingly powerful 6 mm sensing capability, allowing it to fit into machine corners where other sensors simply won’t work. Fast switching, rugged construction, and stable metal detection make it an ideal “install-and-forget” solution for modern automation.
This sensor eliminates inconsistent detection in cramped, vibration-prone or dusty environments where traditional cylindrical sensors struggle. It solves the challenge of maintaining reliable metal presence feedback in fast-moving applications, even when installation space is extremely limited. By offering durable, accurate sensing in harsh conditions, it helps keep conveyors, feeders, and compact machinery running smoothly without false triggers or downtime.

In automotive manufacturing, small inductive sensors are frequently used to verify whether metal components are correctly positioned before welding, fastening, or robotic assembly. The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS10 fits well into tight spots along jigs and fixtures due to its slim housing, allowing it to monitor bolts, brackets, or stamped parts as they move through the line. Its fast switching speed helps keep up with high-cycle production equipment, while the stable 6 mm sensing range reduces the chance of missed detections. By confirming every part is in place before automated tools engage, the sensor helps prevent assembly errors and reduces unplanned machine stoppages.
Recycling facilities rely on durable sensors that can detect metal pieces moving along conveyors covered with dust, dirt, or oil. The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS10 provides dependable performance in such conditions because its IP68 housing is built to resist contamination. Its non-contact detection is ideal for sorting chains, cans, cut metal, and other metallic fragments without mechanical wear. The quick response makes it useful in fast conveyor applications where items pass rapidly, and its robust design continues to operate reliably despite vibration. This supports efficient separation and improves throughput, helping the facility maintain consistent material quality while reducing manual handling.
Metal-forming machines demand reliable sensing to confirm that sheets or blanks are correctly fed before each pressing cycle. The compact size of the IQ10-06NPSKWDSS10 allows it to be installed close to dies and guides, where space is limited but accuracy is essential. Its stable sensing helps detect double-feeds, misaligned sheets, or situations where the material has not reached the correct position. Because it withstands vibration and rapid repetitive movements, the sensor remains consistent even in high-speed stamping lines. This reduces tooling damage, prevents defective parts, and improves overall safety by ensuring the machine only activates when conditions are correct.
Many packaging systems contain metallic elements such as sealing jaws, metal caps, foil lids, or moving mechanical parts that must be monitored during operation. The IQ10-06NPSKWDSS10 offers fast and stable detection to ensure these elements are in the proper position before the machine cycles. Its compact form makes it suitable for narrow machine frames or inside compact sealing units. With strong resistance to moisture and cleaning agents, it performs well in packaging environments where frequent washdowns are common. The sensor helps reduce packaging defects, supports continuous line flow, and ensures that each unit is assembled or sealed with precision.
