m8 proximity switch
Most M8 proximity switches are sophisticated sensors that can detect the presence or absence of an object without physical or mechanical contact.Used primarily in industrial automation,it works by emitting an electromagnetic field and searching for disturbances in this field as a result of metal, glass, or any other object.A compact M8 size means that it is flexible for a variety of purposes.It's key functions include object proximity detection, metal object counting (prefers soft metal), positioning and monitoring the movement of materials.Technological features include a toughened specification that can resist vibration and impact, IP67 rated for protection against dust and water as well as offering many options in terms ofloat tolerance.Applications stretch from manufacturing through robots to the handling of materials blessed with strict, reliable detection procedures
