Inductive Prox Sensor has several features which would be very useful by most of the readers reading this post. On the one hand, it means no wear of sensors — nothing touches them at all (which helps our products last much longer than other sensing devices and in many cases well over 40 years) without maintenance. All the rock solid reliability you possibly can buy, With perhaps what has to be a lifetime that seems like it almost last forever and strong enough of structure able even in harshest industrial environments to turn into most reliable version for accurate immediate detection. The sensor is equally universal and can process with many target materials, which makes it straightforward to integrate into different systems. The end result is faster run times, less down time and lower overall cost for its customers so yes it seems that the little ol Inductive Prox Sensor wins.vs. another tool which is not an option… after all:)
