Proximity Sensors: The IQ10-03BPPKQ8S

Proximity sensors detect the presence of an object without any physical contact. This type of sensing can vary itself from range, detection level, ambient conditions, and target material. From one end, the object can even be a human body. Making use of this, there are many industries where these sensors can be broadly utilized.

IQ10-03BPPKQ8S is a type of proximity sensor that operates on inductive principles and thus detects metal objects. It has a wide range of applications in the industrial sector for metal oriented operations. This sensor can detect the presence of any metal object positioned within a certain range, without the need for direct contact.

Purpose and Operating Principle

The primary function of IQ10-03BPPKQ8S proximity sensors is to detect the presence of metal objects. This can be used to determine the position of objects in order to control processes, identify material sources, and automate systems. It performs this task without the need of physical contact or a line of sight between the object and sensor.

The operating principle behind the IQ10-03BPPKQ8S is based on inductive proximity sensing. An AC current is passed through a coil, generating a magnetic field around it. When a metal object is placed within the range of the magnetic field, eddy currents are induced in the metallic object, producing a secondary magnetic field. This secondary magnetic field then adds to the primary field, resulting in a change in flux. This change in flux is detected by the sensor and an output signal is generated.
