AB 56RF-IN-IPS12 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Product Description

The Allen-Bradley 56RF-IN-IPS12 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation environments. Part of the Bulletin 871P series, this sensor is built to withstand harsh conditions while providing accurate and repeatable detection. Its compact cylindrical design, combined with advanced sensing technology, makes it ideal for space-constrained installations and high-speed applications.

Product Parameters

Product Advantages

• High Sensing Accuracy: Capable of detecting small metallic objects with precision at a range of up to 12 mm.

• Robust Construction: Features a durable nickel-plated brass housing and stainless steel sensing face, resistant to mechanical stress and corrosion.

• Fast Response Time: With a switching frequency of 800 Hz, it is suitable for high-speed automation systems.

• Wide Voltage Range: Operates reliably across 10–30 V DC, making it compatible with most industrial control systems.

• IP67 Protection: Fully protected against dust and temporary immersion in water, ideal for demanding environments.

• Easy Installation: Flush-mountable design with integrated cable for quick setup and reduced wiring complexity.

• LED Status Indicator: Provides visual feedback of the sensor’s operational state, simplifying troubleshooting.

Precautions

• Mounting Clearance: Ensure proper clearance around the sensor to avoid interference from adjacent metal objects.

• Target Material: Sensing range may vary depending on the type of metal (calibrated for mild steel; adjust for other materials).

• Cable Protection: Avoid bending or pulling the integrated cable excessively to prevent internal damage.

• Environmental Limits: Do not exceed the rated temperature or humidity range to ensure sensor longevity.

• Power Supply Polarity: Ensure correct polarity when connecting to the power supply to avoid damage.

• EMC Considerations: Keep away from high-frequency noise sources or use shielded cables in electrically noisy environments.

Product Applications

The 56RF-IN-IPS12 proximity sensor is widely used in various industrial and automation applications, including:

• Position Sensing: Detects the presence or position of metal parts in conveyors, assembly lines, and robotic systems.

• Pneumatic and Hydraulic Cylinders: Monitors piston position in automated machinery.

• Packaging Machinery: Used for detecting metal caps, foils, or containers in high-speed packaging lines.

• Material Handling: Applied in automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) and elevators.

• Automotive Manufacturing: Commonly used in welding stations, part tracking, and quality control.

• Food and Beverage: Suitable for detecting metal components in processing and bottling lines (IP67 rated).
