Introduction

The IFM I85008 I8-3020-BPKG/DY/AS-610-DPS is a dynamic inductive tube sensor designed for fast and reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation, feeding equipment, material-handling systems and production machinery.

The sensor uses a dynamic inductive sensing principle, allowing moving metallic components to be detected rapidly as they pass through the defined sensing area. This makes the I85008 particularly suitable for applications requiring high-speed part detection, automated counting and material-flow monitoring.

The I85008 provides a sensing range of less than 20 mm and a 2.5 mm steel-ball resolution. Its compact design allows integration into automated machinery where reliable detection and limited installation space are important.

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 of 200 mA, with reverse-polarity, short-circuit and overload protection for dependable industrial operation.

Application Performance

The I85008 is designed for fast detection of small metallic components moving through an automated sensing area. Its dynamic operating principle enables rapid detection of suitable metallic targets without mechanical contact.

The sensor provides a sensing range below 20 mm with a 2.5 mm steel-ball resolution, making it suitable for detecting relatively small metallic parts when the target and installation conditions meet the specified requirements.

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 supports a permanent switching current of 200 mA with a maximum voltage drop of 2 V.

The response time of less than 0.2 ms supports high-speed detection applications. The 100 ms pulse-stretching function can extend short detection signals, helping connected control systems reliably register brief detection events.

Dynamic Tube Sensor Design

The I85008 is designed for applications where metallic parts move rapidly through a controlled sensing area.

The dynamic sensing principle makes the sensor suitable for detecting moving components in feeding systems, production machinery and material-handling equipment. It can provide a fast switching response when suitable metallic targets pass through the sensing zone.

The compact construction supports integration into automated equipment where space-efficient sensor installation is required.
