Excellent price/performance ratio Sensors and connectors in perfect combination for demanding applications Metal sensing face for heavy duty High shock and vibration resistance Permanently legible laser type label The most important advantages at a glance: Shock, vibration and impact resistance up to 1 joule or 4 joule for the ATEX version. High ingress resistance to coolants and lubricants or aggressive cleaning agents thanks to protection class IP 65 to IP 69K.
Inductive proximity sensors can only detect metal targets. They do not detect non-metal targets such as plastic, wood, paper, and ceramic. Unlike photoelectric sensors, this allows a inductive proximity sensors to detect a metal object through opaque plastic. The sensors detect metal objects located in their measurement field. They use the interaction of the metal object as an electrical conductor with the emitted magnetic alternating field of the sensor to do so. There are three main types of metal detectors: Very low frequency (VLF) detectors, pulse induction (PI) detectors, and specialty detectors.
Metal detectors have the ability to scan for all types of metals in products, magnetic (steel, iron) or non-magnetic (aluminum, Brass copper). The powerful technology inside metal detectors can also spot elusive stainless steels, such as types 316 and 304 commonly used in food production. Metal detectors work by transmitting an electromagnetic field from the search coil into the ground. Any metal objects (targets) within the electromagnetic field will become energised and retransmit an electromagnetic field of their own.
