The IMB18-08BPPVC0S by Sick features a standard M18 cylindrical housing with a thread size of M18 x 1 and a diameter of 18 mm. This high-performance Inductive Sensor supports quasi-flush mounting, providing a precise sensing range of 8 mm with a safe sensing margin of 6.48 mm. With a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz, it handles fast-moving automation processes with ease and reliability. Its PNP output with complementary switching function allows for more flexible integration into safety circuits and control systems.
Designed for reliability, the IMB18-08BPPVC0S uses DC 4-wire electrical wiring and is equipped with a male M12, 4-pin connector for secure, plug-and-play installation. The sensor carries a rugged IP68/IP69K enclosure rating, making it resistant to water, dust, oil, and high-pressure cleaningβideal for industries that demand hygienic and resilient components. It features IO-Link compatibility for smart sensor diagnostics and supports predictive maintenance. The visual adjustment indicator enhances installation accuracy and verification at a glance. This model is engineered to perform reliably in areas exposed to coolants, lubricants, mobile machinery vibrations, and temperature variations, ensuring long service life and low downtime in demanding factory settings.
The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is tailored for precision detection in complex applications, especially where surface reflectivity or color variation can challenge other sensors. Its background suppression and red LED technology ensure that detection remains accurateβeven for shiny, dark, or transparent objects.
This sensor is widely used in automated packaging lines, assembly machines, and conveyor systems where object consistency and fast cycle times are critical. Thanks to its compact body, it can be integrated into tight machine spaces without interfering with moving parts. Technicians and engineers appreciate its quick alignment feature, which reduces installation and setup time while boosting uptime.
Whether itβs detecting a product on a conveyor or confirming part presence in a pick-and-place unit, the WL4S-3F2130 excels in environments where reliability canβt be compromised. Itβs particularly favored by maintenance teams in India for its stability, longevity, and low maintenance requirements.
