Compact SICK IQ10-03BPPKW2S inductive sensor delivering precise 3 mm metal detection, fast switching, and reliable performance for tight industrial installations.
The SICK IQ10-03BPPKW2S inductive proximity sensor is a compact rectangular device designed to deliver dependable 3 mm metal detection in confined industrial setups. Its slim 10 × 28 × 16 mm form factor allows installation in spaces where cylindrical sensors cannot fit, while flush mounting ensures stable operation near surrounding metal. With fast switching capability and a durable sealed housing, it addresses the need for consistent short-range detection in automated machinery. Engineered for reliability, it is well-suited for assembly equipment, small component handling, and metal object verification under demanding operating conditions.
The IQ10-03BPPKW2S offers strong performance through precise sensing behavior, low drift, and reproducible switching characteristics, helping machines maintain accuracy even during temperature changes or long production cycles. Its complementary PNP outputs give designers flexibility in how signals are interpreted, reducing the need for multiple sensor variants. The rugged VISTAL® housing and IP68 sealing support long-term use in environments where moisture, vibration, or impact are common. A clear LED indicator simplifies commissioning, and the fast response is ideal for detecting moving metal parts on compact machinery, robotic fingers, or high-speed conveyance paths. The result is reduced downtime and stable, predictable detection performance.
The IQ10-03BPPKW2S is the ideal choice when you need precise metal detection in places where space is extremely limited. Its slim rectangular form, fast reaction speed, and rugged sealed housing make it versatile enough for compact machinery, robotics, and tight automation modules. It delivers dependable sensing performance even when positioned close to metal surfaces, ensuring stable and repeatable results without constant recalibration.
This model solves the challenge of achieving reliable short-range metal detection in confined or vibration-heavy environments where traditional sensors may struggle. It eliminates false triggers, reduces downtime caused by unstable sensing, and provides fast, accurate switching even on moving parts. By maintaining consistent performance in harsh industrial conditions, it ensures smoother operation and greater process confidence for machine builders and integrators.

Robotic grippers handling small machined components often operate in extremely tight spaces, where verifying whether a part has been securely held is vital for cycle reliability. The IQ10-03BPPKW2S fits comfortably within narrow tooling pockets and provides a stable 3 mm detection zone that responds quickly as metal enters or leaves the gripper fingers. Its resistance to vibration prevents false signals when the robot accelerates or changes direction. With this sensor integrated into the gripper body, automated cells gain dependable part-presence feedback, reducing stoppages and ensuring the robot transitions smoothly from pick to place without unnecessary resets or missed detections.
Automated workstations assembling miniature brackets, pins, or stamped items rely on highly consistent verification of component placement before performing pressing, fastening, or bonding actions. The IQ10-03BPPKW2S provides the close-range accuracy needed to detect these small metallic items even when surrounded by guiding plates or metal fixtures. Its complementary output allows the controller to interpret both presence and absence conditions without additional hardware. Thanks to its compact footprint, the sensor integrates neatly into tight fixture designs. This helps assembly lines maintain a smooth sequence, minimize misalignment issues, and prevent defects caused by tooling operating on empty or partially loaded nests.
In fast-moving production environments, metal components passing along miniature conveyors must be detected quickly and reliably to maintain process timing. The IQ10-03BPPKW2S provides rapid response capability that keeps pace with closely spaced items, allowing PLCs to count, sort, or trigger downstream actions with precision. Its sealed housing withstands exposure to coolants, machining debris, or airborne particles that often accumulate around conveyor systems. Installed flush with the guarding or brackets, it offers an unobstructed path for parts while maintaining stable detection distances. This ensures continuous monitoring without interruptions, supporting efficient throughput and avoiding delays caused by missed sensor signals.
Presses and forming machines rely on exact alignment of dies and tooling plates before initiating force-intensive operations. A short-range inductive sensor like the IQ10-03BPPKW2S can be embedded within the tooling frame to confirm whether key metal surfaces have reached their proper positions. Its ability to withstand heavy vibration and sudden mechanical shock makes it suitable for the harsh conditions typically found around presses. The sensor’s fast switching helps detect alignment instantly as tooling moves into place, supporting safer press operation and reducing the need for manual checks. This contributes to consistent production quality and extended equipment life.
