Proximity sensors — non-contact object detection in manufacturing
A proximity sensor detects the presence of an object without physical contact at distances from 1 mm to several meters. These sensors are used in conveyor lines, packaging machines, metalworking equipment, and warehouse logistics. By operating principle they are divided into inductive (metal only), capacitive (any material), and optical (long range, high accuracy). The Chastotnik.ua catalog features proximity sensors from Sick, Keyence, Pepperl Fuchs, Wenglor, Baumer, and IFM for tasks of varying complexity.
How to choose a proximity sensor
Key selection criteria: target material type (metal or non-metal), required sensing distance, protection class (IP67/IP68/IP69K), output signal type (NPN/PNP, analog 4–20 mA), and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, vibration). For metal parts on conveyors, inductive models are sufficient; for plastic, glass, or liquids, capacitive or optical sensors are needed.
| Model | Brand | Type | Sensing range | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WL100-P4439 | Sick | Optical, retroreflective | 0.1–6 m | Conveyors, packaging, counting |
| FU6F | Keyence | Fiber optic | 110–1100 mm | Precision positioning, micro-processing |
| HD09MG-P24 | Wenglor | Optical, diffuse | 35–85 mm | Small part detection, labels |
| MLV41-54-G-1371 | Pepperl Fuchs | Optical, retroreflective | 0–1300 mm | Industrial lines, object detection |
| OHDK14P5101S35A | Baumer | Optical, diffuse | 20–350 mm | Production lines, quality control |
