IFM Electronic IG-3005-BPKG Proximity Switch

The proximity switch, also known as an approximation switch or contactless sensor, from IFM Electronic with type number IG-3005-BPKG is an electrical proximity sensor for contactless object detection. It has the dimensions 15 x 5 x 15 cm and weighs 0.2 kg. Proximity switches are used for the contactless detection of objects in industrial applications, without the need for physical contact. They detect the presence or position of metallic or non-metallic objects. Typical applications are found in automation technology for position sensing, in conveyor technology for material flow control, and in mechanical engineering for motion monitoring.
