Proximity sensors are one of the most common types of industrial sensing device used in automation today. They use a variety of physical technologies to detect the presence or absence of a target in their field of view. This application field and working principle of one of these sensors, the IMB12-08NPSVU2K, will be analyzed.

Sensor Features

This sensor has a range of 0–8 mm and features a rectangular inductive range, making it suitable for detecting metallic objects within its range. It is equipped with an LED indicator which flashes when the target enters or leaves the range. This sensors has a response time of 200 ms, along with a wide operating temperature range of -20–85°Celsius. It has a die-cast aluminium housing with a mounting flange which makes attaching it to other devices easy.

Sensor Structure

The IMB12-08NPSVU2K is an inductive proximity sensor, using an inductor to detect the presence of metallic objects. This sensor contains two main parts; a power supply unit and an induction head. The power supply unit accepts a wide range of voltage inputs and powers the electromagnetic field generated by the induction head. This induction head also contains a switch module, which is activated when a target is within range. The switch module LED indicator then flashes to indicate the active state.

Electromagnetic Principle

The IMB12-08NPSVU2K uses an electromagnetic field to detect the presence of objects within its sensing area. When the power supply unit is activated, the electromagnetic field is generated by the induction head. This field creates an oscillating electric field and when a conductive material comes in contact with this field, it produces a fluctuating current which is detected by the sensor. When detecting objects that are not ferromagnetic, the inductor is tuned to detect minute changes in its capacitance, thus enabling the sensor to detect even non-metallic objects within its range.

Working Principle

The IMB12-08NPSVU2K works by generating an oscillating electromagnetic field which is detected when a metal object comes in contact with it. When a target comes within range, the induction head detects the incoming current and activates its switch module. This switch module then activates its LED indicator which flashes to indicate the object’s presence. If the target leaves the sensing area, the LED indicator ceases to flash and the sensor returns to its idle state.

Conclusion

The IMB12-08NPSVU2K is a versatile inductive proximity sensor that is capable of detecting metallic and some non-metallic objects. It has a wide voltage input range and is suitable for a wide range of automation applications. This sensor is easy to mount and requires minimal setup. Through its electromagnetic principle, it is able to detect the presence of objects within its range and is thus an ideal sensor for industrial automation.
