High‑Sensitivity Metal Proximity Sensor for Industrial Automation

The Metal Proximity Sensor is an inductive, non‑contact detector designed to sense the presence of metal objects within a specified distance. It operates by exciting a magnetic field that interacts with ferromagnetic materials, creating a detectable signal change when a target object enters the field. This technology provides reliable, maintenance‑free detection suitable for harsh environments and high‑speed production lines where physical contact is undesirable.

Engineered for robust industrial use, the sensor offers fast response times, high immunity to electromagnetic interference, and a wide operating temperature range. Its compact form factor and shielded construction make it ideal for integration into conveyor belts, robotic pick‑and‑place setups, and safety interlocks.

• Key Spec 1: Sensing Range – 0.5 mm to 25 mm (adjustable via calibration)
• Key Spec 2: Input Voltage – 6 V to 30 V DC, 13 W peak
• Key Spec 3: Response Time – < 5 ms with 1 ms rise time
• Common Use Case: Detecting metal parts on conveyor belts to trigger downstream processes or safety shutdowns.
