Product Description

SICK IME12-06BPSZW2S Inductive Proximity Sensor – 6 mm Metal Detection Performance

The SICK IME12-06BPSZW2S inductive proximity sensor is a compact M12 metallic detection device designed for stable and repeatable switching in industrial environments. It offers a 6 mm sensing range, PNP normally-open output, and a durable IP67-rated housing, making it highly suitable for continuous operation on automated equipment. Built with a triple-range detection capability and an 800 Hz switching frequency, it handles fast-moving machine processes with confidence. The slim cylindrical body and fixed 2-meter cable allow easy installation in applications where space is limited but precision and reliability are critical.

Engineered for everyday industrial use, the IME12-06BPSZW2S provides consistent metal detection even when exposed to vibration, temperature variation, or frequent switching. Its quasi-flush design helps reduce interference from surrounding metal surfaces, giving more stable readings and minimizing false triggers. The strong brass, nickel-plated housing adds mechanical durability, while protective circuitry guards against short circuits and power-up pulses. With quick response time and long operational life, this sensor supports accurate counting, positioning, and monitoring tasks in packaging lines, handling systems, and light industrial automation, ultimately improving equipment reliability and process efficiency.

Why IME12-06BPSZW2S?

The IME12-06BPSZW2S stands out because it delivers strong, repeatable metal detection in a compact M12 form that fits almost anywhere on a machine. Its extended sensing capability, high switching speed, and rugged build make it a go-to choice for engineers who want a sensor that quietly performs with reliability, even when the production line never stops.

What Problem Does It Solve?

This model solves the challenge of inconsistent metal detection in busy, space-restricted machinery. It cuts through vibration, temperature shifts, and metal-rich mounting environments to provide stable, interference-resistant detection. In short, it eliminates guesswork and miscounts on fast-moving equipment, enabling smoother automation, fewer errors, and less downtime.
