SICK IME08 Standard Series Proximity Sensor, M8 x 1 Thread size, 52mm Length - 1092908
This proximity sensor detects plastic targets in automated and industrial control environments. It is a shielded, cylindrical M8 device with a cable termination designed for non-flush mounting and delivers a PNP switching output for integration with standard control systems. The sensor is constructed for extended use across a wide temperature range and carries recognised safety approvals.
Features and Benefits:
• Shielded non-flush design enables close mounting without false triggers
• PNP output supports simple sourcing interfacing with PLC inputs
• 4kHz switching frequency permits detection of fast-moving targets
• 200mA switching current handles typical control loads directly
• IP67 protection provides immunity to dust and temporary immersion
• Operates between -25°C and 75°C for broad environmental use
Applications
• Suitable for conveyor plastic part presence detection
• Ideal for pick-and-place machines requiring high-speed sensing
• Used with automated inspection systems for plastic components
• Can be used for end-of-arm tooling position feedback
• Suitable for Compact machines needing M8 cylindrical sensors
What electrical supply limits must I observe?
The unit accepts DC supplies up to 30V and must not exceed this maximum to prevent damage.
How is the sensor connected into a control circuit?
It uses a fixed cable termination for wiring and provides a PNP output that sources current to input modules when activated.
What mechanical interfacing is required for installation?
The body uses an M8 x 1 thread for secure mounting in non-flush housings and fixtures.
Which materials and target gap should I expect reliable detection with?
It is specified for detecting plastic targets with a maximum sensing range of 2.5mm for consistent switching behaviour.
Are there certifications relevant for industrial use?
It carries CE marking and is listed to cULus standards, indicating conformity with the relevant regional safety requirements.
Note
This sensor is non-flush mounted
