Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are primarily used as detection devices to detect the presence of an object. They work on the concept of the generation of a magnetic field that can detect the presence of an object or the changes in the environment. Proximity sensors are broadly classified into two major types – capacitive and inductive.

IME08-1B5POZT0K Application Field and Working Principle

The IME08-1B5POZT0K Proximity Sensor is an inductive type proximity sensor, which is widely used for detecting the presence of metal objects. It is a non-contact type sensor, i.e. it does not need physical contact with the sensed object for detecting its presence. The operation of this inductive proximity sensor is based on Faraday’s law of induction.

When a metal object is placed close to the proximity sensor, it generates a magnetic field in the sensor’s sensing zone. This magnetic field induces a voltage in the sensor coil, which is proportional to the distance between the metal object and the sensing element in the sensor. This induced voltage is passed through a switching circuit to activate the switching device. Thus, when the proximity sensor gets close to a metal object in its sensing zone, it triggers the operating switch of the circuit, which in turn sets an alarm or actuates a control system.

The IME08-1B5POZT0K Proximity Sensor is primarily used in automatic functional testing systems for quality control in the manufacturing sector, in medical equipment, and in robotics applications. The IME08-1B5POZT0K can also be used in transportation systems, for detecting objects and obstacles on the road. It can detect metal objects from a good distance, and therefore is ideal for robotic navigation systems.

The IME08-1B5POZT0K Proximity Sensor is also extensively used in automatic door opening systems, as it is capable of detecting a metal object or obstacle from a good distance, and can be programmed to trigger the opening or closing of the door. It is also used in security applications, where it can be programmed to detect the presence of an intruder in the vicinity, thus triggering the security alarm system.

The IME08-1B5POZT0K Proximity Sensor is reliable and durable, and is capable of providing an accurate detection signal. It is easy to install and extremely efficient in detecting the presence of metal objects. It is a very cost effective alternative to other types of proximity sensors.
