1. Machine slide reference position
A compact machine slide carries an iron reference flag past a fixed sensing point. The sensor’s 6.5 mm diameter smooth cylinder fits the local mounting arrangement and detects the approaching flag without physical contact. Its PNP normally open output switches within the documented 0–1.4 mm setting range, giving compatible controls a reference event for the motion sequence.
Problem Solved
Converts a passing metal reference flag into a discrete position event without a contacting actuator, supporting repeatable machine sequencing while avoiding mechanical engagement between slide and switch.

PNP NO
2. Ferrous component loading check
An assembly fixture needs to distinguish a loaded ferrous component from an empty nest before the next process step. The sensor faces a suitable metal area and detects its presence by induction. Its nominal 2 mm range is referenced to an iron 6.5 × 6.5 × 1 mm test target, while the 2 m cable carries the discrete output to machine wiring.
Problem Solved
Supplies a discrete component-presence condition at the loading nest, allowing the controller to identify an empty fixture before continuing the assembly sequence without touching the workpiece.

3. Transfer wheel indexing pulses
A transfer wheel carries separated iron flags to mark indexed positions for process tracking. The sensor detects each flag as it enters and leaves the sensing zone, producing normally open PNP output transitions for a compatible input. Its 3 kHz average response specification provides the test-based switching reference; flag spacing, target size and machine speed determine the usable installation rate.
Problem Solved
Turns successive metal-flag passages into electrical transitions for index tracking, giving the control sequence a local indication of wheel movement without requiring a mechanical switch to cycle against every flag.
