Ifm efector’s new fail-safe inductive sensor does not require a coded magnet or keyed target for safe operation, says the company. The wear-free, one-piece system replaces the traditional two-piece safety switch by integrating ifm’s patented, non-contact inductive sensing principle that is rated up to Category 4 according to EN954-1 for safety applications. Similar to an inductive proximity sensor, ifm’s fail-safe sensor can detect any standard metal target such as stainless or mild steel. The sensor’s extended sensing range — up to 15 mm — provides a high tolerance to misalignment and nuisance tripping in shock and vibration environments.
