IFM Electronic IG0348 Inductive Proximity Sensor

IFM Electronic IG0348 Inductive Proximity Sensor detects metal targets without contact. This device operates by generating an electromagnetic field and sensing changes when a metal object enters its sensing range, delivering a switch output in response to metal presence. The IG0348 is a model from IFM Electronic for non-contact metal detection in industrial settings where reliable position sensing is needed. Common uses include detecting the presence of metal components and end-of-travel or limit sensing in automation equipment, conveyors, presses, and tooling that require metal target detection without physical contact. Inductive proximity sensors have no moving parts in the sensing area, contributing to long-term wear-free operation.
