Koenig & Bauer (KBA) 71465.00 Inductive Proximity Switch

The Inductive Proximity Switch, also known as proximity sensor, non-contact switch, or initiator, is an inductive sensor from electrical engineering with the OEM part number 71465.00 from Koenig & Bauer (KBA). It has dimensions of 15 x 5 x 10 cm and weighs 0.025 kg. Inductive proximity switches are used for the non-contact detection of metal objects. They enable precise position sensing and limit switch control in automated processes, without requiring mechanical contact, which minimizes wear and increases service life. Typical applications are found in the machine tool industry for workpiece recognition, in conveyor technology for material flow control, and in robotics for position determination of grippers and axes.
