Need an object detection solution for your industrial workplace? Stay on track with this proximity sensor from Festo. It works via the Hall effect, using an electromagnet that measures the changing voltage of an electromagnetic field so no metallic or non-metallic object passes by undetected. As this means it operates without any contact, it's practical when you're dealing with delicate or dangerous materials, as well as in situations where low maintenance is essential. This unit's IP68 rating means it's totally dustproof, resists low-pressure jets of water and withstands submersion in up to 1m of liquid for 30 mins, so you can put it to the test in a tough spot.
Features & Benefits
• LEDs provide status indication for easy troubleshooting • Offers PNP and NPN operation, so the mode can be adjusted to suit your application's needs • Short-circuit protections keep you and your equipment safe from excess current
Applications
• Chemical manufacture • Food production • Laboratories • Medical and dental equipment
Does this product need assembly?
No. This proximity sensor's Hall effect operation means it needs no switch-point configuration when you're setting it up. Its integral magnet simply responds intuitively to the electromagnetic field surrounding it.
