SICK IME series inductive proximity sensors offer precise detection, less downtime and long service life. The inductive sensors pack high technology into the smallest of spaces. An integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment after the end of the manufacturing process.

The ASIC chip ensures highly precise switching points and very high repeatability of values, for any number of production runs. IME sensors are completely encapsulated with hotmelt moulding, which greatly increases shock and vibration resistance.

· Extended sensing ranges: 1.5 mm to 38 mm
· Enclosure rating: IP 67
· Nickel-plated brass housing with a plastic sensing face
· High machine availability thanks to a rugged design
· High positioning accuracy thanks to precise switching behaviour

SICK IME18-20NPSZW inductive proximity sensor features a sensing range upto 20 mm with a PNP-NO output. The sensors is encapsulated in nickel-plated brass with a M18 x 1 fully threaded body and a Cable electrical connection.
