This is a stainless steel, short-body inductive proximity sensor with an M8 size. Designed for standard industrial environments, this shielded sensor operates on a DC 3-wire system with a PNP Normally Open (NO) output. Its sensing distance of 2 mm allows precise proximity sensing. The sensor comes prewired with a 5-metre cable and is resistant to heat, chemicals, and water. Its compact design makes it suitable for various applications.

• Offers a sensing distance approximately 1.5 to 2 times larger than conventional Omron sensors. This ensures reliable detection even in demanding applications
• With its increased sensing range, workpiece collisions are minimised, enhancing safety and preventing damage
• The sensor’s modular design simplifies customization, allowing seamless integration into various setups

• It is ideal for use in automated machinery, conveyor systems, and production lines
• It can detect objects in material handling equipment, such as packaging machines and robotic arms
• The stainless steel housing makes it suitable for food and beverage processing environments
• Use it for part presence detection, positioning, and quality control in automotive assembly lines
