The new generation ICB series is a complete family of high performance inductive sensors for contactless and wear free detection of metallic objects in industrial automation applications, such as packaging, materials handling and machine tools. The advanced electronics is enclosed in a robust nickel-plated brass housing. It is available in three diameters: M12, M18 and M30 with an extended sensing distance range between 4 and 22 mm. On-board IO-Link communication opens up many possibilities, such as easy configuration and setup of the devices and advanced parameter setting · · · A complete family. Available in M12, M18 and M30 robust nickel-plated brass housings with an operating distance of 4 to 22 mm · · Less machine downtime. Lower risk of mechanical damage thanks to the extended operating distance · · The output can be operated either as a switching output or in IO-Link mode · · High precision. The onboard advanced microcontroller ensures better stability with respect to environmental influences, with highly reliable repeatable measurements between -25 and +70°C. · · Easy customization to specific OEM requests: different cable lengths and materials, special labelling, customized pig-tail solutions with special cables and connectors are possible on request. · · The output can be operated either as a switching output or in IO-Link mode
