Proximity sensors are devices used to detect the presence of other objects without actual physical contact. Generally they are used in robotics, automotive, aerospace, industrial, and other applications where specific objects must be detected and individualized. GX-MK30B-P-Z is one such type of proximity sensor, an inductive type to be exact. This article will delve into the application fields and working principles behind this type of proximity sensor.

Application Field

The GX-MK30B-P-Z Proximity Sensor is commonly used for motion control, non-contact switches, fluidics and electronic control design. As an inductive type proximity sensor, it will detect the presence of metal objects and can easily be installed in existing machinery or custom designs. This sensor also offers some feed-back function to determine if a drive is on or off.

The GX-MK30B-P-Z is also capable of detecting moving objects, for example a conveyor belt. It can be used in automation and controlling valve operations. Its long sensing range makes it ideal for use in robotic assembly lines and industrial automation. It can also be used in medical applications such as automated drug dispensing machines and blood pressure readers.

Working Principle

The GX-MK30B-P-Z Proximity Sensor is predominantly an inductive type device. This means that it functions by means of an oscillating electromagnetic field generated by a coil inside the sensor. When a metal object enters the area which is monitored by this sensor, the field is disturbed, and a signal is relayed to the sensing device. The signal is then converted into an electrical output for further processing.

The most common form of inductive proximity sensor is the inductive proximity switch. This type of switch comprises of a sensing head which consists of a door and a magnet. When a metal object is placed within the area that is monitored by the sensor, the door moves and the magnet is drawn towards the metal object, thus causing the electrical circuit inside the device to be activated. The output from the sensor is then relayed to a control device, such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to start or cease functioning.

Specifications

The GX-MK30B-P-Z Proximity Sensor is a multi-line, IP67 protection class proximity sensor with four separate contact levels. The standard sensing distance for this device is 6mm, with a maximum sensing distance of 8mm. This device operates on a voltage of 6-36 volts DC, making it suitable for most industrial applications. Operating temperature is between -25°C and 80°C, and the device is also resistant to shock, vibration, and humidity.

The GX-MK30B-P-Z proximity sensor offers a number of features which can be customized according to customer requirements. These include frequency selection, LED brightness, response rate, and maximum sensing range. Additionally, the device has a power consumption of1W, a highly functional LED output, and a mechanical life of 5 million cycles.

Conclusion

The GX-MK30B-P-Z Proximity Sensor is an inductive type device suitable for many industrial and robotic applications. The detector is able to detect the presence of metal objects within a certain range, thereby providing feedback for an electronic control system. This device offers multiple customizations and features, making it suitable for a variety of scenarios.
