m12 proximity switch
The M12 proximity switch is an up-to-date sensor designed to detect the presence or absence of objects without physical contact. Mainly suitable for industrial automation, it works by emitting an electromagnetic field and detecting changes in the field when a metal object enters its range. It performs three primary functions: position-sensing, counting and safety applications. Its technical characteristics include small size, an IP67 rating for water and dust proofing, multiple operating ranges to meet different user configurations and finally compatibility with various control systems. Its applications are varied, including the automotive industry, robots and logistics machinery as well as being used in packaging.
