proximity switch m18
The proximity switch M18 is a sophisticated sensor designed for industrial automation and control systems. No bigger than a bottle of beer, this handy item is good at detecting presence and absence within its range. The main functions it performs are detecting metal objects without contact, thus is particularly useful in applications where the sensing equipment must not be intrusive and conduit. Technological features include a rugged metal housing, various output types such as PNP or NPN, adjusting sensitivity levels depending on environment and an integrated LED display. Using the principles of electromagnetic fields, it operates more stably than ever even in bad weather conditions. The M18 ‘s applications span quite broadly across industries to include (among others) manufacturing, robotics and material handling, such as providing precise control at low speeds through a wide range of situations.
