IPF IB18C340 SENSOR

  • Explosive Environments (Dust Zone): Safe metal detection in hazardous areas under ATEX directive for dust explosion risk, specifically those marked with II 3D Ex tc IIIB .

  • High Temperature Processes: Industrial ovens, drying facilities, and heat treatment machinery where operating ambient temperature constantly ranges from 25 °C to 180 °C.

  • Critical Status Monitoring (Safety-Oriented): Safety applications where the signal must break (output turns off) when metal target is not sensed, such as monitoring the opening of a closed damper, due to Normally Closed (NC) output function.

  • Areas Exposed to Aggressive Chemicals: Position sensing in demanding chemical plants, thanks to high heat and chemical resistance provided by 5 m PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) cable.
