The correction factor depends on the metallic target material:
Steel: 1
Stainless steel: 0.7
Brass: 0.5
Aluminium: 0.4
Copper: 0.3
These correction factors should be considered when designing applications involving different metallic target materials because sensing performance can vary according to the target material.
The IE5388 uses a PNP normally-closed output, making it suitable for compatible industrial control architectures.
The switching output can provide reliable feedback for metallic object detection, machine position monitoring, component presence detection and automated sequencing.
This configuration makes the sensor suitable for industrial automation systems where a PNP normally-closed proximity signal is required.
With a switching frequency of up to 850 Hz, the IE5388 is suitable for repetitive metallic-object detection in automated machinery and production equipment.
Its switching performance allows it to monitor moving components and workpieces at repeated intervals while providing dependable proximity feedback to the machine-control system.
The M8 × 1 threaded body and 35 mm short housing make the IE5388 particularly useful for compact machinery, fixtures and automation equipment.
Its short housing can simplify sensor placement in areas where longer proximity sensors may be difficult to install. The flush-mountable construction also provides a clean installation in compatible machine structures.
