The IFM IES208 IEB3003BANKG/V4A/K1/2M/PUR is an inductive sensor designed for reliable and repeatable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery, mobile equipment, cooling and lubrication applications, and factory automation systems.
The sensor uses inductive proximity sensing technology to detect metallic targets without physical contact. This makes it suitable for repetitive monitoring of machine components, workpieces, fixtures and moving metallic parts without the mechanical wear associated with contact switches.
The IES208 provides a 3 mm sensing range and is designed for flush mounting. Its K = 1 correction factor provides the same nominal sensing range for different metals, making it useful where multiple metallic target materials may be encountered.
