Baumer IFRM 03P1501/L Proximity Sensor

The Baumer IFRM 03P1501/L is engineered for close-range, high-frequency detection with a nominal sensing distance of 0.8 mm, ideal for micro-positioning and compact automation tasks. It features a flush mount design and operates on a 6 to 30 VDC supply, using a PNP make function (NO) output with a maximum current output of 100 mA. With a switching frequency of 3 kHz, it supports rapid detection in fast-moving parts or high-speed indexers.

The sensor’s 3 mm cylindrical body and 22 mm housing length offer flexibility for tight installations, while its robust stainless steel housing and POM sensing face ensure excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and mechanical shock. The rear-mounted red LED indicator provides visual confirmation of switching, simplifying alignment during setup or service. Its 2-meter pre-wired cable enables easy integration into control panels or mobile assemblies without the need for connectors.

Designed for industrial durability, the IFRM 03P1501/L includes built-in short circuit protection and reverse polarity protection to prevent wiring mishaps during installation. Its IP67 protection class ensures resistance to dust, oil, and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh environments such as automotive, packaging, and robotics. With an operating range of -25°C to +75°C, this Baumer sensor delivers stable performance across varying industrial conditions.

The Baumer IFRM 03P1501/L is ideal for compact automation environments where precise, close-range detection is required. Engineers use this sensor in high-density control panels, printed circuit board assembly lines, and miniature fixtures to confirm part presence or alignment without physical contact. Its 0.8 mm sensing distance makes it perfect for fine-tolerance sensing tasks such as part seating, edge detection, or micro-actuator position feedback.

Thanks to its 3 kHz switching frequency and flush cylindrical design, this sensor performs consistently in rapid motion setups like rotary indexing tables, robotic tools, and miniature conveyors. The rear LED indicator assists with diagnostics, especially during sensor alignment or maintenance checks in crowded machinery. Its small footprint and rugged housing also make it suitable for integration into OEM modules or retrofitting legacy systems where space is limited.

For engineering students and plant technicians, this model is a valuable example of industrial-grade proximity sensing within compact systems. It supports hands-on learning around PNP signal logic, sensor calibration, and PLC input response. Whether for training labs, automation experiments, or scaled-down industrial equipment, the IFRM 03P1501/L offers precise performance with lasting reliability.
