The SICK IMB Series Inductive Proximity Sensor offers consistent performance in harsh working conditions. The stainless steel housing, ingress protections, and operating temperature range of -40 to 100°C permit use in various environments, including outdoors or contact with cooling lubricants. This line of sensors offers extended sensing ranges up to 20mm, and high precision thanks to the use of SICK ASIC technology. The wide-ranging specification limits of the IMB Series allow it to be used in applications where specialist devices were once the only solution. The optical adjustment indicator and self-locking nuts save time during commissioning, reducing the chance of errors. Communication via IO-Link is available, increasing flexibility and functionality.
