Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The sensor uses a high-frequency electromagnetic AC field that interacts with metal objects passing through the ring. When a metal object enters the detection field, it causes changes in the electromagnetic field that are detected and converted into an electrical signal.
The sensor can reliably detect small metal parts from a minimum size of 2mm, making it suitable for applications involving screws, nails, and other small components.
IP67 protection means the sensor is dust-tight (6) and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes (7), making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
Dynamic output (as used in this model) provides switching output when metal objects pass through the ring, while static output maintains a constant state. Dynamic output is ideal for counting or detecting moving objects.
Common applications include automotive manufacturing, packaging machinery, food processing, material handling systems, and assembly lines where reliable metal detection is required.
