New ultra-compact sensors raise the performance bar

IF200 dual-channel sensors offer the key benefits of delivering a large sensing range combined with excellent precision, resulting in high inductive sensor performance across a wide range of automated manufacturing applications.

Though miniature in size (W 20mm x L 42mm x H 15mm), these sensors provide ultra-precise linearised measured values within a
10mm range, with up to 3µm resolution, via either IO-Link or as analog voltage signals. 

There is also a retrofit option available with exactly the same pinout, which ensures easy connectivity when replacing Baumer’s existing conductive measuring IWFK sensors.

In addition to their range capability and precise performance, a robust plastic housing means
the sensors can withstand increased ambient temperatures in more challenging applications of up to 75ºC. 

Also, as a result of the Baumer sensor technology, they provide an exceptionally low-temperature drift of just two percent across the entire sensing range.

Depending on the model selected, ultra-precise linearised measured values, with 3µm resolution, are
provided either via IO-Link or as analog voltage signals. The fully digital variant is the most compact and cost-effective option, as it removes the need for shielded cables and high-resolution A/D converter cards.

Both IO-Link variants are dual-channel capable and in addition to the IO-Link ready digital output (which includes easy parameterisation, comprehensive
diagnostic data, such as histograms, temperature, switching and boot cycles), they also provide additional switching, or analog voltage output.

To summarise, the introduction of the IF200 sensors brings high measuring performance with a resolution of up to 3µm, combined with the largest sensing distance of 10mm, in the most flexible and compact package, along with simple teaching via the qTeach feature.
