The IFM I85000 I8-3014-BPKG/AS-610-DPS is a compact inductive tube sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation, factory machinery, feeding equipment and material-handling applications.
The sensor operates using a static inductive sensing principle, allowing metallic objects to be detected without physical contact. Its specialised tube-sensor construction is particularly suitable for applications where very small metallic parts need to be detected reliably as they pass through a defined sensing area.
The I85000 has a compact rectangular polycarbonate housing measuring 70 × 20 × 12 mm and a sensing range of less than 14 mm. This compact design allows the sensor to be integrated into machinery and automated equipment where installation space is limited.
The sensor uses a DC PNP normally-open output and operates from a 10–35 V DC supply. The switching output supports a permanent current rating of 200 mA, with short-circuit, overload and reverse-polarity protection.

The I85000 is designed for reliable detection of small metallic objects in automated industrial processes. Its inductive sensing technology enables metallic components to be detected without mechanical contact, supporting repeatable operation in production machinery and automated handling systems.
The sensor provides a sensing range of less than 14 mm and a 3 mm minimum steel-ball resolution. This makes it suitable for detecting relatively small metallic components when the target material, size and installation conditions meet the specified requirements. The maximum specified part speed is 35 m/s, supporting fast-moving components in automated applications.
The PNP normally-open output provides a switching signal to compatible PLCs, industrial controllers and automation systems when a metallic target is detected. The output has a 200 mA permanent current rating and a maximum voltage drop of 2 V.
The sensor provides a 100 ms pulse-stretching function, which can extend short detection signals and help connected control systems reliably register brief detection events. The specified response time is less than 0.5 ms, making the sensor suitable for fast part-detection applications.
The I85000 uses a compact 70 × 20 × 12 mm rectangular housing manufactured from polycarbonate. Its compact form factor makes it suitable for integration into restricted machine spaces and specialised feeding equipment.
A mounting slot is provided to simplify installation, while two fixing straps are supplied with the sensor. The M8 connector provides a practical electrical connection for compatible industrial sensor cabling.
The sensor includes a yellow LED for switching status and a green LED for operating status, providing useful visual feedback during installation, commissioning and maintenance.
The I85000 is particularly suitable for applications requiring dependable detection of relatively small metallic components.
Small metallic-part detection
Part presence detection
Component detection
Automated counting
Feeder monitoring
Material-flow monitoring
Congestion monitoring
Production-line monitoring
Assembly machinery
Machine-control applications
Its 3 mm steel-ball resolution and short response time make it suitable for automated processes where metallic components must be detected consistently as they move through a defined sensing area.
The I85000 can be used for parts detection and congestion monitoring in feeding tubes and automated material-flow systems.
When a metallic component enters the sensing zone, the sensor switches its PNP normally-open output. The resulting signal can be transferred to a PLC or machine controller to monitor component presence, feeding activity or material flow.
This makes the sensor suitable for automated feeders, component handling, production machinery and other systems where reliable detection of small metallic parts is required.
The I85000 is suitable for Industrial Automation UAE applications requiring dependable non-contact metallic-object detection.
