Model MDE-Q12 Proximity Detection Sensor for All Metals

Application

  • Even with nonmagnetic materials such as aluminum, increased detection distance is possible.
  • Installation is easy due to the square form factor. can be installed directly on metal surfaces.
  • With its molded casing, the sensor can be safely used in the presence of liquid water.
  • Proximity sensor with detection surface dimensions of 40 × 40 mm and a detection distance of 12 mm (Front-side detection type).

Features

  • Positioning of the processing machines 
  • Position detection of the the metal pallets and moving table

International Standards

  • Our products do not have overseas safety regulations such as CE mark, UL standard, EN standard etc.
  • Products is compliant to the RoHS directive.

* Please consult about "change of specification" and "request of specification" of the product.

Usage Precautions

Influence of Surrounding Metal

If there are metals present near the proximity sensor, keep them away from and beneath the plane of the sensor detection surface at a minimum of the values specified in the figure below.

Mutual Interference

If you use two or more of the same product, separate them at least by the distances shown in the figure below to prevent reciprocal interference.
(Sensors with a different frequency are indicated with a B after the model name.)
