IB080179, IPF, weld-immune inductive sensor, M8 × 49mm, Sn 1.5mm, PNP, connector M8

IB080179 – IPF weld-immune inductive sensor

IB080179 IPF is a weld-immune inductive sensor designed for detecting metal parts in welding applications. This variant has: design M8, overall length 49 mm, rated sensing distance 1.5 mm, PNP output, connection: connector M8.

Key features

• Sensing distance 1.5 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• PNP output – electrical design of this variant.
• Flush mounting – design of the active face according to the manufacturer.
• Connection: Connector M8 – electrical connection type of this variant.
• Degree of protection IP67 – degree of protection stated in the catalogue data.

How a weld-immune inductive sensor works

The active face of the sensor generates an electromagnetic field. When a metal object approaches it, the resulting eddy currents change the state of the oscillator and the electronics evaluate this change at the output. Detection takes place without mechanical contact between the sensor and the target.

Technical specifications IB080179

Electrical connection IB080179

IB080179 uses the connection connector M8. Before connecting, compare the actual wiring with the diagram in the manufacturer's datasheet; pin and wire colour assignments should not be derived from the connector type alone.

Mounting IB080179

The active face is designed for flush mounting. The sensor can be installed in a metal surrounding according to the manufacturer's installation drawing.

Typical applications IB080179

• detection of parts in welding fixtures
• position checking of metal parts in welding applications

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 1.5 mm: this is the rated catalogue value. When designing, take into account the material and size of the target as well as the mounting conditions.
• Flush version: check that the installation method matches the manufacturer's installation drawing.
• PNP output: must match the input type of the control system.
• Connection: Connector M8: the mating connector or cable must match the data in the datasheet.
• Degree of protection IP67: assess together with the specific environmental conditions and the connection method.
