Description
IFM IGC235
IGK2012-ASI | Inductive Proximity Sensor | M18 × 1 | 12 mm Sensing Range | AS-Interface (AS-i) | IP68 | M12 Connector
Product Detailed Description
The IFM IGC235 is an inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact metal detection in industrial automation systems. It belongs to the IGK2012-ASI sensor family and features an M18 threaded stainless-steel housing with a 12 mm sensing range.The sensor uses AS-Interface (AS-i) communication and a two-wire connection. Its IP68 protection and resistance to oils and coolants make it suitable for machine tools and industrial environments exposed to cutting fluids and lubricants. The M12 connector provides a convenient connection to compatible AS-i networks.With a non-flush mounting design, the IGC235 provides reliable metal detection in positioning, presence-detection and machine-control applications.
