IB120129 – IPF weld-immune inductive sensor

IB120129 IPF is a weld-immune inductive sensor designed for detecting metal parts in welding applications. This variant has: design M12, overall length 70 mm, rated sensing distance 2 mm, supply 10–30 V DC, PNP output with NO contact, connection: connector M12.

Key features

• Sensing distance 2 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• PNP / NO output – electrical design of this variant.
• Supply 10–30 V DC – permissible supply voltage range.
• Flush mounting – design of the active face according to the manufacturer.
• Connection: Connector M12 – electrical connection type of this variant.
• Degree of protection IP67 – degree of protection stated in the catalogue data.
• Ambient temperature -25–70 °C – permissible temperature range according to the manufacturer.

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 IB120129

Electrical connection IB120129

IB120129 uses the connection connector M12. 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 IB120129

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 IB120129

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

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 2 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.
• NO contact: the output changes state when the target is detected.
• Connection: Connector M12: 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.
