The Pepperl + Fuchs NBB15 - U1 - A0 - T is an inductive proximity sensor renowned for its high - precision metal detection. With a rated operating distance of 15 mm (flush mounting), it can accurately sense metallic objects in close proximity. It operates on a 4 - wire DC system with PNP output, providing reliable switching signals. The wide operating voltage range of 10 - 30 V DC makes it adaptable to various industrial power supplies. A visible LED indicator helps in quick status monitoring, ensuring smooth operation in tasks like part counting and position control.
Built to endure tough industrial environments, this sensor features a rugged housing. It has a high IP protection rating, which means it is dust - tight and can withstand water immersion to a certain depth. The sensor can operate within a wide temperature range from - 25°C to + 70°C, making it suitable for both cold storage and hot manufacturing areas. Its resistance to vibration and shock ensures long - term stability and consistent performance.
The NBB15 - U1 - A0 - T offers great versatility in industrial automation. It can be easily integrated into existing control systems, thanks to its standard connection interfaces. Its compact size allows for installation in space - constrained areas. Whether used in conveyor systems, robotic assembly lines, or packaging machinery, it provides accurate and reliable detection, enhancing the overall efficiency and productivity of industrial processes.
