SICK IMX Inductive Proximity Sensors
Rugged, Reliable, and Ready for Long-Range Sensing
With their 4-fold sensing ranges, IMX sensors detect objects from a greater distance than standard inductive proximity sensors. This opens up new application possibilities, especially where space is limited or additional distance is required. With sensing ranges of up to 50 mm, they enable stable processes by allowing detection from a safe distance, reducing collision risk. IMX sensors support more compact designs without compromising performance, and their consistent use across applications increases standardization.

Extended Sensing Range for Greater Flexibility
IMX inductive proximity sensors offer up to 4x the sensing range of standard models, detecting objects from distances up to 50 mm. This long-range capability supports collision-free sensing and opens up applications where space is limited or safety clearance is essential. Their compact housing allows for smaller installations without sacrificing performance, while cross-application compatibility helps simplify standardization and reduce inventory.
4-fold sensing ranges: up to 300% greater detection distance compared to standard sensors.
Detection from a safe distance reduces the risk of collisions and mechanical damage.
Less installation space required: To achieve comparable sensing ranges, IMX sensors can be selected one size smaller than standard sensors.
Fast, Accurate, and Hassle-Free Installation
IMX inductive proximity sensors are designed for quick setup and reliable detection. With minimal magnetic interference, they can be mounted close together—saving space and installation time. A built-in visual adjustment indicator ensures accurate alignment, while plug-and-play functionality eliminates the need for complex configuration.
