SICK IMF Series Proximity Sensor, 4mm Maximum Detection, 30V Maximum Supply Voltage - IMF12-04BPPNC0S

This proximity sensor detects metallic targets using an inductive sensing principle and is intended for industrial automation environments where robust, waterproof switching is required. It is housed in a threaded stainless-steel barrel and connects via an M12 male electrical connector, enabling straightforward integration into machinery and control systems.

Features and Benefits:

• 4mm operating range for close-proximity metal detection
  Unshielded design for side and frontal sensing flexibility
  PNP output type enabling easy sourcing logic connection
  30V DC supply compatibility supporting common control voltages
  2 kHz switching frequency for Rapid object-detection responses
  200 mA maximum switching current for driving moderate loads

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor position sensing in manufacturing lines
  Ideal for metal part detection in stamping operations
  Used with robotic end-of-arm tooling for proximity feedback
  Can be used for level sensing of metallic items in hoppers
  Used for safety interlocks on machinery guards in tight spaces

What environmental protections does it provide when exposed to washdowns?

The unit meets IP68 and IP69K ingress ratings, permitting sustained immersion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdown procedures.

What temperature extremes can it operate within on-site?

It functions across a broad temperature range from −40 °C up to 100 °C to suit chilled or high-heat industrial zones.

How is the sensor mounted for flush installation?

The threaded barrel with M12x1 thread is designed for flush mounting so the sensing face can SIT level with its housing surface.

Which materials will it reliably detect during operation?

It is optimised for detecting metallic objects, providing consistent switching behaviour on ferrous and many non-ferrous metals.
