Suitable for industrial automation
The IES227 uses inductive proximity sensing technology to detect metallic targets without physical contact. When a suitable metal target enters the sensing zone, the sensor switches its PNP normally-open output.
The sensor can provide a switching signal to compatible PLCs, industrial controllers and automation systems for machine position detection, metal component detection, counting and process monitoring.
Its K=1 correction factor is a particularly useful feature for applications involving different metallic target materials. According to the technical data, the correction factor is specified as 1 for steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and copper, providing a consistent sensing range across these metals.
The IES227 provides a 3 mm sensing range and a very high 2000 Hz switching frequency, making it suitable for fast and repetitive metal detection tasks.
The sensor has a real sensing range of 3 ± 10% mm and a guaranteed operating distance of 0–2.43 mm. Its K=1 characteristic helps maintain the same nominal sensing range across the specified metallic materials.
The IES227 uses a robust stainless-steel 1.4404 / 316L housing with an M8 × 1 threaded body and 37.5 mm overall length. It is designed for flush mounting, allowing the sensor to be installed neatly in compatible machine structures.
