The IMB18-12NPSVC0S from Sick features a robust M18 x 1 cylindrical thread housing with an Γ 18 mm diameter, offering excellent mechanical stability even in challenging mounting conditions. Designed for non-flush installation, it delivers an extended sensing range of 12 mm with a safe margin of 9.72 mm, ensuring accurate performance even in variable environments. It uses PNP Normally Open (NO) output and connects via a standard M12 4-pin male connector, with DC 3-wire electrical wiring to simplify system integration.
This Inductive Sensor operates at a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz, making it suitable for rapid on/off detection in automated conveyor systems, rotating parts, and cam position monitoring. It is engineered for maximum protection with an IP68 and IP69K enclosure rating, offering complete resistance against water, dust, and high-pressure washdowns β ideal for use in coolant-lubricated zones, mobile equipment, and automated machinery that undergo frequent cleaning. The unit is also temperature-resistant and features a visual alignment indicator and IO-Link communication for remote configuration and real-time diagnostics, supporting advanced Industry 4.0 use cases.
Every unit comes with V2A stainless steel mounting nuts for secure installation, and is backed by Sickβs engineering excellence and global support network. Whether you're upgrading existing sensors or specifying a new automation cell, the IMB18-12NPSVC0S delivers accuracy, durability, and smart connectivity that helps future-proof your operations.
The Sick WL4S-3F2130 Photoelectric Sensor is widely used in industries where space is limited and precise object detection is critical. It excels in detecting small or transparent objects without interference from shiny or irregular backgrounds β a common requirement on automated packaging lines, labeling machines, and electronic component feeders.
Thanks to its precise switching point and background suppression capability, this sensor eliminates false triggers caused by reflective surfaces or ambient light. For example, on a bottling line, it can detect transparent PET bottles or caps with minimal adjustment. On an electronics line, it can confirm the presence of PCBs or reject missing parts accurately, reducing downtime and boosting quality control.
Designed with factory reliability in mind, the WL4S-3F2130 includes LED indicators for quick diagnostics, making it easier for junior engineers and maintenance teams to identify misalignments or signal loss. This sensor simplifies troubleshooting and ensures stable operation in high-speed, high-precision industrial setups.
