Festo SIES Series Proximity Sensor, 1.5mm Rated Operating Distance, IP65 Protection - SIES-8M-PO-24V-K-7,5-OE, Numeric Part Number: 551391


This proximity sensor is an inductive type designed for reliable position detection in industrial environments. Operating within a supply voltage of 10 to 30V, it offers robust performance across a temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. The sensor features a sleek design for T-slot mounting, coupled with an IP65 and IP67 rating for moisture and dust protection, making it suitable for various demanding applications.

Features & Benefits


• Rated operating distance of 1.5 mm enhances detection accuracy
• PNP switching output ensures compatibility with common systems
• Repetition accuracy of less than or equal to 0.05mm allows precise measurements
• Integrated overload protection safeguards against electrical faults
• LED indicator provides clear operational status feedback
• Reverse polarity protection ensures safe electrical connections

Applications


• Used with T-slot assemblies in automation
• Ideal for detecting positions in high-temperature environments
• Suitable for industrial equipment requiring robust sensors
• Effective in cleanroom settings compliant with ISO 14644-1
• Utilised in with moving cables due to flexible design

What is the maximum frequency that this sensor can handle, and how does it benefit operations?


The maximum switching frequency is 4500 Hz, allowing for quick and reliable position detection, essential in high-speed automation processes. This capability enhances overall efficiency in manufacturing lines where rapid feedback is critical.

How does the sensor ensure accurate readings in varying environmental conditions?


The sensor operates effectively within a temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, along with an IP65 and IP67 rating. This makes it resilient against contaminants and moisture, ensuring consistent performance in harsh environments.

What are the implications of the different reduction factors on material detection?


Reduction factors, such as 0.62 for aluminium and 1.0 for steel, affect how well the sensor detects a target object based on its material composition. Understanding these factors helps in selecting the appropriate sensor for specific applications involving various metals.
