Extremely Compact AlphaProx Inductive Sensors
Feature Integrated Amplifiers
Heavy Duty Proximity Sensors for Small Space Applications
Southington, Conn. — December 11, 2007.... Baumer Ltd. has introduced a new line of compact, high
resolution inductive analog proximity sensors that are self contained and require no external electronics.
Featuring integrated amplifiers in their design, AlphaProx proximity sensors are pure three-wire devices
available with rugged IP67-rated chromium steel housings as small as 4 mm in diameter to withstand harsh
conditions and temperature extremes.
Despite their extremely compact design, AlphaProx sensors can sense metal targets at distances ranging
from 0 to 16 mm and resolutions up to 1 µm. AlphaProx sensors can be used in operating temperatures
ranging from -10ºC to +70ºC. Some sensors in the line feature a teach-in function that allows the user to
adjust the usable measuring range and select the effective direction of the current or voltage.
Delivering long-term reliability, AlphaProx inductive proximity sensors accurately provide position and
distance measurement in a range of industrial applications including aerospace, automotive, electronics,
food/beverage processing, heavy equipment, medical, metalworking, packaging, and printing. These
sensors are staples on automated assembly equipment, conveyors, and a range of other processing
applications.
