IMB08-02BPSVU2K: 1072697 - Sick 32 mm Inductive Sensor

The IMB08-02BPSVU2K by Sick combines compact engineering with rugged performance for high-speed detection tasks in industrial automation. Its short-body cylindrical housing and M8 x 1 thread size make it perfect for installations where space is limited. With a precise 2 mm sensing range and a safe sensing margin of 1.62 mm, this sensor is designed to offer accurate and repeatable detection of metallic targets, even in fast-moving processes. The device operates with a switching frequency of 4,000 Hz, enabling it to detect rapid part movement with outstanding responsiveness.

Equipped with a durable 2 m cable and a DC 3-wire PNP output (normally open), the IMB08-02BPSVU2K integrates seamlessly with a wide range of PLCs and control systems. Its IP68 and IP69K enclosure ratings ensure complete protection from dust, moisture, and high-pressure washdowns, making it a go-to choice for use in industries such as food processing, packaging, automotive, and machine tools. The sensor's resistance to coolant and lubricant exposure, along with its built-in visual adjustment indicator and support for IO-Link, adds intelligence, diagnostics, and ease of setup in digitally connected factories. Supplied with stainless steel locking nuts, this sensor not only meets rugged operational demands but also simplifies installation.

The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is purpose-built for precise object detection in industrial processes where accuracy, repeatability, and compact size are critical. It is especially effective in detecting shiny, transparent, or irregularly shaped components—something conventional sensors often struggle with.

Used extensively on automated conveyor systems, bottle filling lines, and packaging machinery, this model’s compact build makes it easy to mount in constrained areas near moving parts. Its visible red light source enables straightforward alignment during setup, reducing time and minimizing operator error. Background suppression ensures only the desired object is detected—even in cluttered or variable lighting conditions.

For engineers working in challenging factory environments, this sensor offers consistent, low-maintenance operation. It’s especially valuable in sectors like FMCG, logistics, and electronics, where high-speed detection is critical. Engineering students and professionals alike can appreciate how the WL4S-3F2130 combines optical precision with rugged industrial-grade performance—making it a real-world example of smart sensing in action.
