The IFM Electronic IS5003 Inductive Proximity Sensor is a compact non-contact device designed for metal-detection applications in automation environments. It operates on 10–36 V DC and draws 200 mA, delivering reliable sensing with modest power consumption. As an inductive sensor, it detects metallic targets within its sensing range without physical contact, making it suitable for position sensing, end-of-travel detection, and other machine automation tasks.
