E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2

Proximity sensors are some of the most important sensing elements in any programmable automation controller (PAC). From proximity switches to ultrasonic contactless detectors, they all serve the same purpose, detecting, sensing and controlling something close to or far from their proximity. The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 application field and working principle falls in the category of Proximity Sensors.

E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 is a cost-efficient, pre-wired and self-contained inductive proximity sensor with an AC-connected output. It can detect metal objects such as fasteners, shafts, nuts and bolts as well as other ferrous metal objects, up to a size of 0.6 inches (15mm). It can also detect plastic objects, including plastic-coated metal objects, which helps in applications such as casepacking and pick and place systems. The sensor has a switching distance of 8mm, and can be used in a temperature range of -25 to +85 degrees Celsius.

The sensor has a 3-wire, AC-powered output, and can be wired directly to a PLC\'s input circuit. It also has a reset and a built-in power circuit for the AC output, allowing it to display the output even when power is lost. The output can be set to either Normally Open (N.O.) or Usually Closed (N.C.) using a toggle switch on the side of the sensor.

The working principle of the E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 is quite simple. It produces a magnetic field which acts as a strong field when metal objects come in close proximity to it. The field then triggers a switch, and the output is then fed to the PLC\'s inputs, thus detecting the presence or absence of an object. If the object is of the size and material specific to the sensor, then it will be detected and the output will be activated accordingly.

The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 application field is used mainly in automated industrial processes and machines. It can be used to detect the presence of objects in location sensing, parts detection, position sensing, tooling & positioning, automatic doors & gates, packaging and counting applications. It is also used in reverse sensing applications such as sheet metal detection, riveter tools, and shear head detection. The sensor can also be used in robotic applications, such as gripper arm control, for product sorting and reworking.

These sensors offer reliability, accuracy and cost efficiency for any automated industrial system. They require minimal maintenance and installation costs and provide good protection from magnetic, radiated, and electrical interference. They have a fast sensing frequency and are able to detect even hard-to-reach objects easily. The E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 is suitable for a wide variety of applications in industries like automotive, mechatronic, material handling, manufacturing, packaging, and food & beverage.

In conclusion, the E2B-M12KN08-M1-B2 application field and working principle falls in the category of proximity sensors. With its 3-wire AC-powered output, it helps to detect metal objects, plastic objects and other ferrous metal objects up to 15mm in size. It is used for a variety of industrial applications such as location sensing, parts detection, automatic doors & gates, packaging and counting applications, as well as robotic applications. This makes the sensor cost-effective, reliable and accurate for any automated industrial system.
