1129379

Overview

The SICK model 1129379 is an inductive proximity sensor from the IMM04 series, designed for precise object detection in industrial automation environments. It features a standard metric housing with an M4x0.5 thread and a sensing diameter of Ø4mm. The device operates as a 3-wire DC unit with an NPN switching output, providing a high switching frequency of 5,000Hz. It offers a nominal sensing range (Sn) of 0.6mm and a safe sensing range (Sa) of 0.486mm. The sensor supports flush installation and carries an IP67 enclosure rating according to EN60529, ensuring robust performance against dust and water ingress.

Feature Summary

• Compact design with a standard metric housing and M4x0.5 thread size for space-constrained applications
• High-speed switching capability at 5,000Hz for rapid detection cycles
• Robust environmental protection with an IP67 rating for harsh industrial conditions
• Visual adjustment indicator for simplified commissioning and status monitoring

Applications

• Automated assembly lines requiring precise positioning of small components
• Packaging machinery for detecting product presence or absence
• Robotics systems for end-of-arm tooling feedback
• Conveyor belt sorting systems for item classification

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific variant matches the required cable length and connection type. Confirm compatibility with the control system's voltage levels and input requirements. Ensure the mounting configuration aligns with the flush installation specification. Check for necessary accessories such as mounting nuts or brackets if not included in the standard supply package.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact form factor and high switching frequency are critical. The NPN output is suitable for PLCs accepting sinking inputs. Consider the 0.6mm sensing range for close-proximity detection tasks. The IP67 rating makes it appropriate for washdown areas or dusty environments where other sensors might fail.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IMM04 series of inductive proximity sensors by SICK. These sensors are engineered for general-purpose industrial use, offering reliability in automated manufacturing. The series includes various housing sizes and output types to suit different application needs, with the IMM04 focusing on miniaturization and precision for tight spaces.

Replacement Considerations

When replacing, ensure the new sensor matches the M4 thread size and Ø4mm diameter. Verify that the replacement supports 3-wire DC NPN output and IP67 rating. Check that the switching frequency meets or exceeds 5,000Hz. Confirm physical dimensions allow for flush mounting in the existing setup.

FAQ

Is the IMM04-0B6NSVU2S designed for flush or non-flush installation?
