Contrinex DW-AD-603-M18 Inductive Sensor

The Contrinex DW-AD-603-M18 is a durable and high-precision inductive sensor engineered for efficiency in metal detection tasks. It features a sensing range of 5 mm and a maximum switching frequency of 2000 Hz, allowing it to operate accurately in medium-speed automation lines. This sensor runs on a 10–30V DC power supply and uses a PNP Normally Open (NO) output configuration. With IO-Link support, it provides advanced communication features such as remote monitoring, diagnostics, and real-time configuration. The M18 cylindrical housing is made of nickel-plated brass, offering mechanical robustness and protection against industrial wear. Rated at IP67, the sensor resists dust, water, and oil ingress. It includes a 2-meter PVC cable with 3-wire connectivity and functions reliably between -25°C and +70°C, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial environments.

Thanks to its embeddable M18 design, the DW-AD-603-M18 is widely used in packaging equipment, assembly lines, metal part conveyors, and automated manufacturing systems. Engineers and machine builders prefer this model for its consistent sensing response and durable build, even when mounted in confined or vibration-prone locations. It performs exceptionally well in detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets with stable repeatability. With built-in IO-Link interface, the sensor integrates easily into Industry 4.0 environments, offering smarter data handling and predictive maintenance capabilities. The combination of rugged construction, flexible mounting, and intelligent feedback makes the Contrinex DW-AD-603-M18 a trusted sensor for long-term use in factories where uptime and precision are critical.
