The IMB12-04BPSVC0K sensor from Sick features a compact M12 x 1 cylindrical thread housing with a short-body design, making it an ideal solution for installations with limited space. Its Γ 12 mm diameter and flush mounting design provide secure, vibration-resistant fitting into machinery panels and metal brackets. The sensor delivers a 4 mm sensing range and maintains a safe sensing margin of 3.24 mm, which helps minimize detection errors in dynamic environments.
This Inductive Sensor operates at a switching frequency of 2,000 Hz, ensuring quick response for high-speed applications like indexing tables, feeders, and part-counting conveyors. It uses a PNP Normally Open (NO) output with DC 3-wire wiring and connects via a reliable M12 4-pin male connector. The enclosure meets IP68 and IP69K ratings, guaranteeing resistance to water jets, dust, and prolonged immersion β essential for industries like automotive, CNC machining, and packaging.
Special features such as IO-Link integration and a visual alignment indicator simplify commissioning and diagnostics. This sensor is engineered specifically for harsh industrial zones, including environments exposed to coolant lubricants, mobile machinery, and temperature variations. The IMB12-04BPSVC0K exemplifies Sickβs commitment to innovation, quality, and application flexibility β making it a top choice for plant engineers and automation designers.
The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is trusted in countless factory environments for its stable background suppression and high sensing accuracy. Itβs especially effective in detecting small parts, transparent bottles, or shiny components β even when installed close to reflective surfaces or conveyor walls.
Maintenance engineers appreciate that the sensor maintains performance despite changing ambient light or background materials. This makes it suitable for automated bottling lines, assembly stations, and component positioning in precision manufacturing. Its red LED ensures easy alignment, and the rugged design fits snugly in compact spaces without compromising durability.
Whether on a fast-moving conveyor or in a multi-sensor array, the WL4S-3F2130 helps improve consistency, reduce manual intervention, and increase output quality. For OEMs and production teams looking to reduce false triggers and maintenance issues, this sensor delivers long-term value with minimal calibration or downtime.
