All-Purpose proximity sensing
12 May 2016
Achieving instantly reliable proximity sensing is simple with the single-click installation of the SICK IQG sensor. With its one-second mount and 40 x 40mm cubic construction, the IQG is an all-purpose and cost-effective inductive sensor that is easy-to-switch in a wide range of automation, conveying and materials handling applications.
The IQG delivers adaptable, flexible and robust presence sensing even in harsh environments, with a rugged IP68 /IP69K enclosure rating. The push-lock sensor head can be rotated in five different directions to ensure the best signal, and its four corner LEDs mean the sensor status can be viewed easily from all directions.
Thanks to of its long sensing distances, resistance to vibration and extensive temperature range from -25°C to 85°C, the IQG is a durable sensor for both indoor and outdoor use, with applications as diverse as positioning of skid conveyors in automotive manufacture, low-temperature materials handling and presence detection on theme park roller coasters.
