Description

The SICK IME18-08BPOZC0S is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in demanding industrial environments. Its operation is based on the eddy current principle, where an integrated oscillator circuit is damped by the presence of a conductive target, triggering a precise switching signal.

Engineered for durability, the sensor is fully encapsulated with hotmelt moulding, significantly enhancing its resistance to mechanical shock, vibration, and environmental contaminants. The integrated Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) allows for digital calibration post-manufacturing, guaranteeing highly accurate and repeatable switching points for consistent long-term performance in automated machinery and positioning systems.

Key Features

  • Precision Sensing: Features an 8 mm standard sensing distance (Sn) with excellent repeatability for accurate object detection.
  • Robust Industrial Design: Constructed with a standard M18 x 1 threaded metal housing and hotmelt encapsulation for superior durability against shock and vibration.
  • High-Speed Operation: Offers a 1000 Hz switching frequency for rapid response in high-cycle automation tasks.
  • Integrated ASIC Technology: Utilizes a digital ASIC for precise, factory-calibrated switching behavior and long-term signal stability.
  • Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports a broad 10 to 30 VDC supply range, facilitating easy integration into various industrial control panels.
  • Standardized Connection: Equipped with a 4-pin M12 male connector for quick and reliable cabling.
  • Flush Mount Capable: Designed for flush installation, allowing mounting flush with surrounding metal without loss of sensing function.

Applications

  • Position verification and end-of-travel detection in automated linear actuators and cylinders.
  • Part presence sensing and counting on conveyor belts and assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output type of the SICK IME18-08BPOZC0S sensor?

The IME18-08BPOZC0S features a PNP (sourcing) output. This means the output switch connects the signal line to the positive supply voltage when activated. It is commonly used with PLCs and controllers that accept positive-switching inputs.

What is the maximum sensing distance and can it be flush-mounted?

This sensor has a rated nominal sensing distance (Sn) of 8 mm for a standard target. It is designed for flush mounting, meaning it can be installed level with surrounding metal surfaces without a reduction in its specified sensing range.

What power supply does this inductive sensor require?

The sensor operates from a 10 to 30 VDC power supply. This wide range provides flexibility for integration into various industrial control systems, which commonly use 12VDC or 24VDC power rails.

How is the sensor connected electrically?

Electrical connection is made via a standardized 4-pin M12 male connector. The pinout typically includes connections for supply voltage (V+), ground (0V), the PNP output signal, and sometimes a diagnostic or enable line—refer to the datasheet for the exact pin assignment.

Is this sensor suitable for high-speed applications?

Yes, with a switching frequency of 1000 Hz, the sensor can detect up to 1000 objects per second, making it suitable for high-speed counting, indexing, and rapid-cycle automation processes.
