Detailed Description – SICK IME Inductive Proximity Sensor Portfolio
1. Series Overview – Precise Detection in Industrial Environments
The SICK IME series is a comprehensive family of inductive proximity sensors designed for precise, non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation. These sensors pack high technology into compact cylindrical housings, from M8 to M30 thread sizes . The integrated ASIC chip enables digital adjustment after manufacturing, ensuring highly precise switching points and very high repeatability across any number of production runs .
2. Rugged Construction for Demanding Conditions
IME sensors are completely encapsulated with hot-melt molding, which greatly increases shock and vibration resistance. The nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 enclosure rating make them suitable for harsh industrial environments including dust and moisture .
Key Durability Features:
✓ Shock and vibration resistance: 30 g, 11 ms / 10 Hz to 55 Hz, 1 mm
✓ Short-circuit protection – built-in
✓ Power-up pulse protection – prevents false switching during power-on
✓ Wide operating temperature: -25 °C to +75 °C
3. Technical Specifications
The IME series covers a broad range of sensing ranges and housing sizes to suit diverse applications :
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Housing types | M8, M12, M18, M30 |
| Extended sensing ranges | 1.5 mm to 38 mm |
| Electrical configuration | DC 3-/4-wire, DC 2-wire |
| Enclosure rating | IP67 |
| Temperature range | -25 °C to +75 °C |
| Housing material | Nickel-plated brass |
| Sensing face | Plastic (PA 66) |
4. ASIC Technology – Precision and Reliability
The IME sensors feature SICK’s proven ASIC technology, which provides several key advantages:
✓ Digital adjustment after manufacturing for precise switching points
✓ High repeatability of switching values across production runs
✓ Reliable, stable processes even in demanding conditions
5. Connection Flexibility
IME sensors offer multiple connection options to suit different installation requirements :
M8 or M12 male connector – for quick, plug-and-play installation
Cable variants – flying leads for direct wiring
Cable with connector – combined solution for flexible routing
6. Safety-Related Variant – IME2S
The IME2S is a specialized inductive safety switch within the IME family, designed for safe position and area monitoring. Unlike standard IME sensors, the IME2S features two self-monitoring OSSD outputs and achieves PL d (EN ISO 13849) safety performance .
Key IME2S Features:
✓ Two OSSD safety outputs – for direct connection to safety controllers
✓ No separate actuator required – activated directly by metal machine parts
✓ Extended sensing range: 4 mm to 15 mm
✓ Safety rating: PL d, SIL 2
✓ Compact M12 to M30 housings
