The Baumer IFRM 08N3701/L is a highly responsive inductive proximity switch designed for accurate metal object detection in tight industrial environments. It features a flush mounting type with a 2 mm nominal sensing distance, making it ideal for applications requiring close-range, reliable sensing. The device operates on a 6β36 VDC power supply and uses an NPN break function (NC) output, commonly used in safety loops and normally closed logic circuits. Its 200 mA output current capacity supports direct PLC input interfacing, while its 5 kHz switching frequency ensures high-speed response for fast-moving targets.
Built with a durable stainless steel housing and a 30 mm cylindrical threaded design, the sensor withstands mechanical impacts and industrial wear. The sensing face is made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), providing excellent resistance to oils and chemicals. Its integrated 2-meter cable allows for flexible installation in complex machinery layouts. The device operates within a wide temperature range of -25Β°C to +75Β°C and meets IP67 protection standards, ensuring long-term reliability in dusty, wet, or oily environments. A bright red LED indicator provides instant visual feedback on sensor output status, simplifying commissioning and diagnostics.
Applications of Baumer IFRM 08N3701/L
The IFRM 08N3701/L is well-suited for automated manufacturing lines, particularly where safety verification and metal part detection are essential. It is commonly deployed in material handling systems to detect parts on conveyor belts, or in robotic end-effectors to confirm part pickup and placement. Due to its normally closed output logic, it is often preferred in fail-safe designs where a disconnected or damaged sensor should trigger an alarm.
For engineering students and maintenance engineers, this sensor provides a hands-on understanding of non-contact detection using solid-state technology. Itβs a valuable asset for industrial designers aiming to reduce downtime and ensure process stability. With Baumer's reputation for Swiss engineering and field-proven sensor performance, the IFRM 08N3701/L delivers a perfect balance of precision, durability, and ease of integration.
