Description

The SICK IME Series IME18-08BPSZC0K is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor engineered for precision and durability in automated machinery. Its operating principle is based on generating an electromagnetic field; when a metal object enters the 8mm detection zone, it causes a change in oscillation amplitude, which is processed by the integrated ASIC to trigger a clean PNP switching signal.

Designed for flush installation in metal mounting surfaces, the sensor’s M18 threaded barrel and compact form factor allow for easy integration. The digital adjustment and value storage within the ASIC guarantee precise switching points and exceptional long-term stability across production runs, minimizing machine downtime and maintenance.

Key Features

  • M18 short-body cylindrical design with M18 x 1 thread for standard industrial mounting.
  • 8mm flush-mount sensing range (Sn) for reliable detection of metallic objects.
  • PNP normally-open (NO) output configuration for direct interface with PLC digital inputs.
  • Wide 10-30 VDC operating voltage range ensures compatibility with various industrial power supplies.
  • High 1000Hz switching frequency enables fast response for high-speed automation applications.
  • Integrated ASIC provides digital calibration for precise, repeatable switching characteristics.
  • Full hotmelt encapsulation enhances durability against shock, vibration, and environmental contaminants.
  • 4-pin M12 male connector offers a quick, secure, and standardized electrical connection.

Applications

  • Position verification and end-of-travel detection in pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders.
  • Part presence checking and counting on conveyor belts and assembly lines.
  • Tool position monitoring and tool break detection in CNC machining centers.
  • Material handling and robotic arm end-effector positioning in automated cells.
  • Machine safety interlock systems for gate and guard monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the SICK IME18-08BPSZC0K sensor?

The sensor operates from a 10 to 30 VDC power supply. It is designed for direct integration with standard 24VDC industrial control systems, but its wide range provides flexibility for various PLC and controller input modules.

What type of output does this inductive proximity sensor provide?

This sensor features a PNP (sourcing) switching output. In the active state (target detected), it switches the signal line to the positive supply voltage. This output type is commonly used with PLC sinking input modules.

Can this sensor be mounted flush with a metal surface?

Yes, the IME18-08BPSZC0K is designed for flush mounting. Its sensing field is concentrated at the front face, allowing it to be installed flush in a metal bracket without loss of the specified 8mm sensing range or risk of mutual interference with adjacent metal.

What is the purpose of the integrated ASIC chip in this sensor?

The integrated ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) allows for digital adjustment of the switching point after manufacturing. This ensures highly precise and repeatable detection performance, batch-to-batch consistency, and enhanced stability against temperature variations and component aging.
