ULTRA-FLAT INDUCTIVE SENSOR DELIVERS FAR-SIGHTED DETECTION
Sensor specialist
BAUMER continues to expand its range of miniature sensors helping
system designers and engineers to exploit the benefits of reliable
object detection using the smallest possible components.
Their new ultra-flat and far-sighted IF250 Inductive Sensor is
a perfect example, measuring just 6mm in height, yet will detect
objects of up to 12mm. This sensor is the flattest of its type
and Baumer claim that such performance is unrivalled in this
class and opens up new application opportunities where standard
cylindrical sensors will not fit due to limited installation
space.
The new IF250 complements the existing Baumer portfolio of high-performance
inductive sensors in an ultra-compact design, from cylindrical
sub-miniature sensors (3mm diameter) up to M30 designs with maximum
24mm switching distance. The combination of metal sleeves and
a mounting kit ensure easy pipe attachment along with a secure
and robust sensor mounting.
An important benefit of the flat design is maximised safety reserves
because it allows for long-distant safety installation towards
the object and is therefore optimally protected - even in critical
sensing applications. Whilst ideally suited to new space restricted
applications it can also be retro-fitted into existing systems
where initially sensors had not been possible.
The IF250 is available as a proximity switch with industry standard
PNP or NPN output, or as a measuring variant with IO-Link interface.
Digital transmission eliminates the need for shielded cables
and a high-resolution A/D converter card - without affecting
the sensors ability to provide precise distance measurements.
Furthermore, the IO-Link interface ensures the benefits of easy
parameterisation, comprehensive diagnostic data, such as histograms,
temperature or switching cycles, which are additional benefits.
