The SICK IM18-05BPS-ZC1 inductive proximity sensor detects metal targets at a 5 mm sensing range in a flush-mount M18 cylindrical housing. It runs on 10–30 VDC and delivers a PNP, normally open output through a ZC1 connector. Industrial controls use this model for reliable position and presence sensing on conveyors, packaging equipment, and machine tools where consistent metal detection is required.
