SLOT-Type Proximity Sensor (Inductive)

Purpose: Detects metal objects passing through a 10mm wide slot for precise object counting, edge detection, and product tracking in industrial automation.

Advantages:

  • Robust (IP68) for harsh environments.

  • High precision for small objects.

  • Low power consumption (<10 mA).

Typical Use Cases:

  • Conveyor systems (detecting metal parts).

  • Printing machines (sheet alignment).

  • Automated packaging (product counting).

Key Features:

  • Technology: Inductive sensing (metal detection only).

  • Slot Design: 10mm width for small objects/features.

  • Applications:

    • Industrial automation, packaging, printing, material handling.

    • Object counting, edge detection, product tracking.
