By virtue of their reliability and cost-effectiveness, inductive proximity sensors are deployed when it comes to detection of metallic objects within a few millimeters:

• Presence detection on machinery components
• High-precision referencing of the zero position of moving machine components (e.g. in robotics)
• Detection of different positions (e.g. limit switches)
• Counting metallic objects (e.g. in a component feeder or conveyor system)
• Presence detection for object processing
• Speed measurement on a metallic gear wheel

Inductive sensors detect any metal parts, whether moving or idle. Sensor operation is non-interacting. Due to their high reserve capacities, the sensors are impervious to any material adhering to the sensing surface, such as metal chips. The sensors are ideal for industrial use. They operate on non-contact sensing, are free from wear and capable of high switching frequencies at yet high switching accuracy. In addition, they are reliably protected against vibration, dust and moisture.
