IDEC Proximity Sensors
IDEC proximity sensors provide dependable non-contact detection for industrial automation applications requiring accurate presence, position, or part sensing. These sensors are commonly used in manufacturing, packaging, material handling, conveyor systems, and automated assembly equipment where repeatable detection and long service life are essential.
The IDEC proximity sensor lineup includes both inductive and capacitive sensing technologies. Inductive proximity sensors are designed for detecting metallic objects such as steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and iron, while capacitive proximity sensors can detect non-metal materials including plastics, liquids, powders, and wood. Their fast response times and stable sensing performance help maintain consistency across repetitive automated processes.
Built with compact housings and rugged industrial construction, IDEC proximity sensors resist dust, moisture, vibration, and electrical noise commonly found on the factory floor. Non-contact operation eliminates mechanical wear, helping extend system lifespan and reduce maintenance. These sensors integrate easily with PLCs and control systems, supporting applications such as end-of-travel detection, positioning, part verification, counting, bin level monitoring, and process feedback.
FAQs
