SICK Inductive proximity sensors

IMI full metal sensors from SICK with their closed stainless-steel housings are developed for demanding applications with high mechanical and chemical loads. Long sensing ranges and communication via IO-Link ensure high process stability and plant availability.

The IMS inductive proximity sensors with E1 type approval are ideally suited for use in mobile machines and in all weather conditions: Protection against load dump, high electromagnetic compatibility, a wide voltage and temperature range, extreme ruggedness and tightness.

Thanks to a 3-fold sensing range, even small sizes achieve extreme sensing ranges of several centimeters. This saves installation space in your machine and reduces the risk of mechanical damage by increasing the distance to the detection object. High plant availability is the result.

Smart Sensors generate and receive data and information which goes beyond traditional switching signals or measured process parameters. They therefore enable substantial increases in efficiency, more flexibility, and better planning security for preventative system maintenance.

Advantages

Reliable, powerful, rugged. Inductive proximity sensors from SICK

Millions of inductive proximity sensors are currently in use in virtually every conceivable industry. They detect metal objects without contact, and are characterized by a long service life and extreme ruggedness. With the latest ASIC technology, SICK sensors offer the ultimate in precision and reliability. SICK can provide the right solution to meet your requirements every time – from cylindrical or cuboid standard sensors with single, double, or triple operating distance to special sensors for use in explosive atmospheres or in harsh environments. Our sensors are the intelligent, reliable route to implementing industry-specific and customized solutions to any task involving automation.

Extensive selection

Whether big or small, cylindrical or cuboid; SICK’s extensive range of inductive proximity sensors has the right sensor for every application. Select from a wide range of different sizes and materials such as stainless steel, VISTAL®, metal, plastic or PTFE coating. There are also different variants common in industrial environments available for the electrical version and the connection technology. And if you still can’t find the right sensor, SICK offers quick and uncomplicated customized sensor solutions, even with specific customer requirements.

Reliable detection in all application conditions

No matter which harsh application conditions prevail, inductive proximity sensors from SICK always work reliably. They deliver reliable detection results even under the most adverse conditions. Thanks to their extremely rugged design, they withstand heavy mechanical stress caused by shock or vibration and are also protected from electromagnetic interference. No matter if conditions include dust, dirt, extreme temperatures or temperature changes, damp or wet environments or if there is contact with chemical or cleaning agents: You can rely on SICK sensors.

Precise, powerful and communicative

Thanks to the new SICK ASIC technology, faulty processes are a thing of the past. Sensors with this technology are more powerful than ever before. Whether with a single or up to four-fold scanning range, SICK’s inductive proximity sensors detect safely and reliably with the highest precision. SICK is moving into the future every day. Extended diagnostic options as well as communication via IO-Link 1.1 make the sensors into data suppliers for Industry 4.0. Thanks to intelligent sensors, complex tasks which used to be solved in the control can now be done easily and directly in the sensor. This makes predictive maintenance easier and reduces machine downtime.
