SICK Inductive Threaded Barrel Proximity Sensor, M4, 0.6 mm Detection, NPN NO, 10 → 30 V dc

Minimal space requirements paired with maximum performance characterize the IMM inductive proximity sensors. They allow the highest level of miniaturization without compromise. Thanks to the 3-fold sensing range up to 6 mm, IMM devices detect objects from a greater distance than before. Due to their small size, low weight and quick and precise switching behaviour, the IMM sensors are ideal for highly dynamic handling and assembly processes.

State-of-the-art ASIC technology enables the integration of a visual adjustment indicator as well as communication via IO-Link, version 1.1. This saves time for commissioning, reduces installation errors and turns the sensors into suppliers of data for future automation applications at the same time.
