The Latest IMX Inductive Sensors from SICK Have Four Times the Standard Sensing Range

If your machines require larger sensing ranges, you may have ignored inductive sensors in the past. Well, have we got news for you? Check out the SICK IMX range.

The IMX range from SICK now offers significantly greater sensing ranges, that are around 4x greater than conventional sensors, setting a new standard for inductive proximity sensors.

Extended Sensing Ranges for More Applications

With sensing ranges of up to 50mm, IMX gives higher process performance - making them ideal for applications that were previously inconceivable with standard inductive sensors.

Where size is critical for your machine, SICK IMX sensors save you installation space by using smaller designs. At the same time, the greater distance reduces the chance of mechanical damage. 

Add in their rugged, durable design (with an IP68 protection rating and -25°C to +75°C temperature range) and the IMX promises less downtime, stable processes and high plant availability for your customers.

What Does the SICK IMX Series Offer You?

  • Rugged, durable design for better reliability and a longer service life.
  • Less installation space, compared to standard sensors with similar sensing ranges.
  • Reduce the risk of mechanical damage by placing the sensor further away from the target.
  • Low mutual interference - sensors can be installed closer together.
  • Make your life easier - standardise on a small range of sensors that suit many different applications.
  • Visual adjustment indicator ensures the sensor functions reliably.
  • Virtually plug and play. SICK IMX sensors can be commissioned with no additional configuration.
