Proximity Sensors 3-Wire DC Compact Sensors FEATURES * Top and side sensing available * Mounts in small spaces * Locking boss for easy mounting with a single screw * Thin 5,9 mm side sensing unit * Only 8 mm (0.31 in.) wide * 2,5 mm (0.10 in.) sensing distance * LED indicator visible from three directions for checking operating state * Variety of sensor types to support many applications * IP 67 sealing TYPICAL APPLICATIONS * Leading and trailing edge detection in semiconductor and electronic parts manufacturing * Confirmation of robot hand chuck * Cam detection * Detection of door opening or closing * Linear motion guide PERSONAL INJURY * DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency stop devices, or in any other application where failure of the product could result in personal injury. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in death or serious injury. APM Series APM Series compact proximity sensors are specifically targeted at the electronics industry, where space is a premium. This sub-miniature series is excellent for applications where small areas that demand accurate sensing control. The 3-Wire DC sensors are available with NPN or PNP, both normally open and normally closed. APM Series compact proximity sensors offer both top and side sensing solutions that save space and provide additional mounting flexibility. The LED Indicator is visible from three directions, allowing easy checking of the operating state. In addition, the APM Series has IP 67 protection for superior sealing in industrial environments.
