AkuSense KIM07-0204NP Thin Film Detection Transparent Proximity Sensor, 3mm Range

The AkuSense KIM07-0204NP is calibrated for an ultra-short nominal detection distance of 3 millimeters (0.003 meters). This precise range is optimized for reliably sensing the presence of thin, transparent films and materials in high-tolerance industrial applications.

This sensor operates on a wide-range DC power supply of 12 to 24 volts. This standard industrial voltage range ensures direct compatibility with common PLC systems, control cabinets, and 24V DC automation power rails without requiring an additional voltage regulator.

The sensor provides a digital switching output (typically NPN or PNP open-collector; consult the datasheet for the specific model variant). Wiring generally involves connecting the brown wire to V+ (12-24V DC), the blue wire to ground, and the black wire as the switched output signal to your controller's input.

Yes, the KIM07-0204NP is specifically engineered and optimized for the reliable detection of transparent materials such as clear plastic films, thin glass panels, and other low-opacity substrates that are challenging for standard photoelectric or inductive proximity sensors.

Absolutely. With an extremely fast response time of 0.02 milliseconds and a high switching frequency of 100 kHz, this sensor is designed for integration into high-speed production lines, fast-moving conveyors, and rapid automation cycles where quick and reliable detection is critical.
