Leuze IS 200 series long-range inductive proximity sensors

Most inductive proximity sensors offer contactless detection at short range. Leuze has now released the IS 200 series inductive sensors that enable switching distances of up to 40 mm in compact, cylindrical housings. Suitable for applications with small installation spaces, larger distances, or for machine concepts with larger tolerances, they also detect imprecisely placed metallic objects and minimise collision risks during operation.

The IS 200 series sensors are available in cylindrical M12, M18 and M30 housings made of nickel-plated brass. Leuze offers each sensor type in two mounting variants, for quasi-embedded and non-embedded installation. The sensors offer users the advantage of detection for moving machine components, as well as tools, input materials or end products made of steel, aluminium, copper alloy or stainless steel. The large switching distance means one compact sensor model can be used for several operating ranges. This standardisation therefore also reduces storage costs and helps maintain a cost-efficient system design.

The devices in the IS 200 series fulfil the requirements of protection class IP 67, and operate in a wide temperature range from -25 to +70°C.
