Baumer IFRM 04N15B1/L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 04N15B1/L: 10152849 offers a nominal sensing distance of 0.8 mm and features a flush mounting design that ensures compact integration without exposure to mechanical interference. Built with a rugged stainless steel housing and POM sensing face, it delivers consistent performance in environments where dust, metal debris, or limited space are key challenges. The sensor's NPN make function (Normally Open) output supports up to 100 mA of current, ensuring seamless compatibility with industrial PLCs and controller input terminals.

Operating efficiently within a voltage range of 6–30 VDC, this sensor consumes a maximum of just 12 mA, making it energy-efficient for continuous use. Its 3 kHz switching frequency enables fast, repeatable detection of metallic parts, critical in automated inspection systems and robotic grippers. With an overall diameter of 4 mm and a compact 22 mm housing length, the Baumer IFRM 04N15B1/L fits into ultra-constrained mechanical layouts, offering reliable proximity sensing without sacrificing response time or accuracy.

An integrated red LED indicator ensures visual feedback for on-site diagnostics, while the durable 2-meter cable allows flexible wiring across machines or panels. Rated IP67, it withstands dust ingress and splashes, supporting stable performance in tool rooms, compact enclosures, and mobile industrial equipment. The Baumer IFRM 04N15B1/L is purpose-built for ultra-compact automation scenarios where sensor placement must be both precise and protected. In electronics manufacturing, it is commonly used to detect miniature components like fasteners or contacts during insertion or alignment stages. With a flush-mount design, it fits seamlessly into tight cavities within assembly fixtures or robotic arms.

Its high 3 kHz response rate makes it suitable for conveyor-based inspection systems, rotary indexers, and high-speed pick-and-place modules. Maintenance teams in packaging or medical device production often rely on this model to confirm the presence of metal guides or actuators in sensitive, low-clearance zones. The IP67 rating ensures the sensor holds up well even in dusty or lightly humid factory environments.

Whether you're optimizing space in a control cabinet or integrating sensors into tight robotic end-effectors, the IFRM 04N15B1/L provides unmatched sensing stability and reliability. Its durable design, fast response, and compact profile make it a dependable choice for engineers working with precision machines or complex system layouts.
