It operates on a 10–30 VDC supply and provides a three-wire PNP normally open output with an M8 quick-disconnect connector, allowing straightforward integration with most PLCs and control circuits. The sensor is unshielded and specified for up to a 3 kHz switching frequency, supporting fast-moving parts on compact automation lines. Its compact profile is well suited for inline sensing on tight spaces such as conveyors and small automated assemblies, including end-of-travel sensing. The AE6-AP-4F output is active when a metal target intrudes into the 4 mm sensing zone, enabling clear PLC logic to detect presence and trigger downstream actions, with 10–30 VDC inputs commonly used across automation platforms for reliable non-contact metal detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AUTOMATION DIRECT","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46274517500138,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8039\/3450\/files\/GTG-STOCK-075.png?v=1788727429","url":"https:\/\/gtghardware.com\/products\/automationdirect-ae6-ap-4f-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"GTG Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
