The SICK IME18-05BPSZC0S and IME18-05BPPZC0S are robust M18 inductive proximity sensors designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in automation systems. These sensors feature a flush-mountable cylindrical housing with a 5 mm sensing range, making them ideal for space-constrained applications in packaging, material handling, and machine tool industries. With a PNP switching output and normally open function, they integrate seamlessly into PLC and controller networks. Rated IP67 and built with nickel-plated brass and PA66 sensing face, these sensors withstand dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. The IME18 series delivers consistent performance across a wide temperature range and includes essential protections to ensure long service life in demanding factory floor conditions.
