In automated packaging or assembly conveyors, the IME18-08BPOZW2S sensor ensures each metal component is detected at high speed without physical contact. Its 1 kHz switching frequency allows accurate detection even on fast-moving belts, while the 8 mm sensing range supports stable operation across various part sizes. The IP67-protected brass housing resists oil, dust, and vibration, preventing sensor failure and minimizing downtime. This precision detection helps control sorters and feeders efficiently, keeping production flow consistent and error-free.
Within metal stamping equipment, position feedback is critical for safety and accuracy. The IME18-08BPOZW2S provides a precise end-position signal that confirms die closure before the next press cycle. Its shock-resistant and vibration-proof design ensures accurate feedback even during continuous heavy operation. The flush mounting prevents interference from stray metal, while its robust design and short response time prevent misalignment and protect both the press tooling and operators from potential mechanical errors.
In automotive assembly, robots frequently exchange tools such as grippers and weld heads. The IME18-08BPOZW2S sensor verifies correct docking by detecting metal tool brackets with high precision. Its compact M18 form allows installation in confined spaces, and the non-contact detection prevents mechanical wear. The fast response and stable output ensure the robot only starts its motion when the tool is fully secured, improving safety, cycle efficiency, and long-term reliability under demanding factory conditions.
Recycling plants rely on sensors to separate mixed metal scraps quickly and accurately. The IME18-08BPOZW2S identifies metallic items on conveyor systems, triggering diverters or sorters automatically. Its durable IP67-rated construction withstands dust, debris, and vibration from continuous operation. With consistent repeatability and temperature stability, it helps maintain accurate sorting between ferrous and non-ferrous metals, reducing manual intervention, increasing throughput, and supporting sustainable recycling operations efficiently.
