	Full metal technology dramatically improves life-in-application and increases production uptime The noncontact, zero-leak, all-metal sensors are so robust, they may outlast the life of your machines! The stainless steel constructions extends the sensor's life by a factor of 15 compared to plastic face sensors. The family includes products specifically for the food and beverage, metal stamping, and welding environments.
	P\|Prox displacement sensor provides extreme precision for all metals The P\|Prox proximity sensor, with excellent repeatability, ensures process stability and improves product quality by measuring absolute distance values between the active sensing face and a metallic target directly in pure digital form.
	Flat pack sensors for welding and stamping offer compact design Welding and stamping environments are typically very harsh -- hot, dirty with weld spatter, and damaging due to mechanical impact of stamping presses. Flat rectangular sensors (aka "flat packs") are popular since mounting is more easily controlled than tubular sensors that could be threaded too far or too short in the machine.
	Kplus sensors detect all metals at the same sensing range, minimizing physical damage With a correction factor of 1, the Kplus sensors reliably detect all metal targets with no reduction of sensoing range.
	Low profile sensors are ideal for mounting in limited spaces These sensors are perfect for accplication such as robotics, assembly, and handling applications.

Inductive proximity sensors prevent mechanical damage from impact

ifm launched its first inductive sensor under the name “efector” in 1969. Since then, we have continued to improve the design of our products with patented coil structure, optimized electronics for noise immunity, and high reliability under extreme conditions.

The product group, including inductive ring and tube sensors, offers a combination of features, performance, and value for industrial applications.
