Larger Trigger Sensing Distance Ensures Greater Freedom of Mechanical Design
SICK's IMM miniature sensors have ultra-compact dimensions and take up little space, but they are no slouch in terms of performance.But they are no slouch in terms of performance. with a trigger sensing distance of up to 6 mm, the IMM ensures a stable process and detects objects at a safe distance.The combination of a long trigger sensing distance and a small footprint increases the freedom in mechanical design and extends the range of applications for the sensors.Not only can non-ferrous metals be detected from greater distances, but also sensors can be used at greater distances, as only larger sensors are currently used due to the required trigger sensing distance.

Ideal for applications where installation space is tight but the trigger sensing distance required is high.

With a triple trigger sensing distance of up to 6 mm, IMM sensors recognize all objects at a safe distance.

The smallest IMM sensors are only 12 mm long and have a diameter of only 3 mm: Thus, IMM sensors can be used even in small installation spaces.

Compared to sensors with dimensions M8 and M12, they take up less space - without compromising on the trigger sensing distance.

Stable processes and high flexibility in mechanical design thanks to large trigger sensing distance and compact micro design

Quick, easy and safe installation
With IMM sensors, valuable sensor installation time can be saved, thus increasing productivity.Thanks to the visual adjustment indicator, the reliable functioning of the sensor during operation can be easily ensured.High tightening torques and specially designed mounting fittings simplify the installation of the sensors and ensure that they are permanently and reliably fixed.In addition, the IMM is equipped with IO-Link version 1.1.In addition to simple sensor diagnostics and easily accessible data, it also supports the assembly process.With the decentralized IO-Link master module integrated into the programmable logic controller system, devices can be replaced and identified in just a few seconds, and wiring costs are significantly reduced.

Significant savings in installation time thanks to additional functions and accessories

IMM sensors are quick and easy to install thanks to visual adjustment indicators, IO-Link and suitable accessories.

Ideal for highly dynamic handling and assembly processes
In addition to compactness, high positioning accuracy and efficient switching characteristics are important requirements in the field of handling and assembly technology.IMM sensors with high switching frequencies, high repeatability and stable switching signals meet these requirements unconditionally.While larger sensors often reach their technical limits when objects are too small, IMMs reliably detect smaller objects and are therefore ideally suited to detecting small parts in conveyorized processes.The low weight of the sensor allows high acceleration of moving parts.Flexible cables are also available on demand, and dynamic processes with multiple operating cycles per day are no longer a challenge.

High positioning accuracy and accurate switching characteristics ensure reliable identification of fast processes.

High detection sensitivity recognizes small objects such as wires, nuts or screws.

Low weight and flexible cables allow high acceleration and bending stress during dynamic loading and unloading (flexible cables available on request)
