New inductive sensor series in miniature size

Miniature sensor with large sensing distance: With the expansion of its inductive sensor series IFRM04/05, Baumer has achieved a perfect balance between functionality and compactness. With 1.6 mm, the inductive sensors offer the largest sensing distance for sensors with a switching frequency greater than 1 kHz. So Baumer has expanded its already wide product portfolio in the miniature class by a further range.

Baumer has increased the sensing distance by 60 percent compared to the previous IFRM 04/05 series. This makes mounting easier for the user because the sensor allows higher tolerances. In addition, the number of possible applications is larger because the distance of the sensor to the scanning object can vary more widely.

The minimum dimensions of the sensors enable their use even in the most compact applications. The entire electronics is also integrated in the smallest sensor of this series, which is only four millimeters in diameter and 20 millimeters long.

The IFRM04/05 series is well suited for use in automatic handling and/or assembly machines and wherever there is really no room for sensors.
