Smart sensor in flat pack design with IO-Link

July 2019 Sensors & Transducers

The new smart sensor in flat pack design with IO-Link from ifm – South Africa has a compact IQ rectangular housing and is ideal for the limited space found in conveyor technology and factory automation. The flush installation of the sensor facilitates mounting and prevents mechanical damage. Together with a high impact and vibration resistance and a wide temperature range, this ensures long life.

Versatile thanks to IO-Link

In order to solve demanding position detection tasks, the distance value is continuously provided via IO-Link. Two switch points can be set to the nearest millimetre via IO-Link. The sensor also provides various configuration options, such as NO/NC or PNP/NPN, which reduce storage costs for different sensor types.
