CARLO GAVAZZI INTRODUCES ITS NEW ICF SERIES: FULL METAL INDUCTIVE SENSORS WITH IO-LINK COMMUNICATION
The ICF inductive sensor family ensures reliable detection and prevention of potential failures and false actuations, thanks to condition monitoring implementation via IO-Link.
Carlo Gavazzi Automation, the international electronics group with activities in the design, manufacture and marketing of electronic equipment, presents its new ICF series of inductive sensors in full metal housing with integrated IO-Link communication.
The ICF inductive sensor family is a robust solution for daily indoor and outdoor operations to ensure accurate and reliable detection of actuating parts – even in harsh conditions - such as skid conveyor positioning on conveyor lines in food and beverage applications, monitoring the bucket position in agricultural machinery and counting revolutions of the axle in CNC machinery.
Main technical features
- Condition monitoring for real-time evaluation of critical changes
- Pressure resistance on the sensing face up to 260 bar for M12, 200 bar for M18 and 100 bar for M30
- Extreme mechanical performance
- cULus and ECOLAB approved, IO-Link communication V1.1
- Extended operating temperature range from -40 to +85°C.
- IP68 and IP69K protection for full protection of the sensor against high pressure and high temperature washing cycles
- High switching distances from 4 to 22 mm for safe installation
- Available in M12, M18 and M30 robust stainless-steel housings
The ICF series has been specifically designed to resist shocks, vibrations and impacts, high and low temperatures and frequent washdown cycles. These sensors are mainly addressed to OEMs manufacturers of conveyor systems, agricultural machines, industrial doors, and metal works in general.
