• LED (light-emitting diode) indicator to show active status
• IP65 and IP67 (ingress protection) ratings indicate dust and water resistance

• Conveyors
• Pharmaceutical production facilities
• Car door detection facilities

An inductive sensor contains an oscillator circuit that creates a magnetic field. When a metal comes into that field, it causes a disturbance. This sends a signal to trigger the machine's response, depending on the application of the sensor.
