Compact flat inductive sensor with 5mm range, NPN NO output, and IP67 rating. High-reliability metal detection for confined industrial automation spaces.
The Omron TL-W5MC1 2M is a compact, flat-style inductive proximity sensor engineered for robust, non-contact ferrous metal detection in industrial automation environments. Featuring a 5mm sensing range and an NPN Normally Open (NO) output, this DC 3-wire sensor provides highly reliable performance. Housed in a durable IP67-rated enclosure measuring just 18 x 10 x 31 mm, it easily integrates into space-constrained applications. Equipped with a pre-wired 2-meter PVC cable and capable of achieving rapid response frequencies up to 500 Hz, it is an ideal solution for fast-paced machine monitoring, limit detection, and counting tasks.

Utilizing the sensor to detect the presence and exact positioning of passing metal trays or sub-assemblies on a high-speed conveyor line.
Resolves the challenge of part detection in severely space-constrained areas where standard cylindrical sensors cannot fit, while keeping up with fast assembly line speeds.
Monitoring the home or end-travel limits of moving metal carriages and tool changers inside automated machining enclosures.
Prevents mechanical over-travel and collisions by providing reliable proximity detection that survives exposure to metallic dust and ambient moisture.
Mounting the sensor directly onto a robotic gripper to verify the proper seating of a steel workpiece before initiating high-speed transfer sequences.
Minimizes the risk of dropping parts by ensuring positive part verification without adding excessive bulk or weight to the robot's end-of-arm tooling.
