ICB series - Inductive proximity sensors

Product catalog summary
Overview: The ICB series by Carlo Gavazzi is a range of high-performance inductive proximity sensors designed for eco-friendly applications. These sensors are built with over 50 years of expertise in sensor design and production.
Specifications: The series includes sensors with M12, M18, and M30 barrel housings, offering sensing ranges from 2 mm to 40 mm. They are available in 3-wire and 4-wire DC configurations, featuring rugged nickel-plated brass construction and excellent LED output visibility. The sensors provide protection against short circuits, reverse polarity, and transients.
Installation and Approvals: The sensors come in flush and non-flush versions with NPN or PNP outputs, and are available with a 2-meter oil-resistant PVC cable or an M12 disconnect plug. They are cULus certified, CE marked, and the 3-wire DC series is also cCSAus certified for hazardous locations.
Performance and Features: These inductive sensors are reliable in harsh environments, unaffected by dust, oil, water, or vibrations. They operate at high switching frequencies with high resolution, repeatability, and precision. The ICB series includes an onboard microprocessor for digital technology integration, offering temperature stability, EMC robustness, and customizable outputs.
Environmental Considerations: The ICB12 and ICB18 families use eco-friendly potting material made from recycled corn by-products, enhancing mechanical stress resistance and sensor reliability.
Applications: Suitable for CNC machines, tool-changing machines, agriculture, and material handling systems, the ICB series offers benefits like optimized setup, reduced installation costs, and high durability in extreme conditions.
Advanced Features: The sensors provide assured traceability with laser-engraved part numbers and serial numbers. LED indicators offer diagnostic functions, such as indicating short-circuit or overload conditions.
Product Range: The ICB series includes various models with different operating distances and configurations, ensuring a fit for diverse applications. Options include standard, extended, and increased sensing ranges, with quasi-flush or non-flush mounting.
ICB30 Series Overview: The document also details the ICB30 series, focusing on sensing capabilities and installation types, with contact information for global offices and sales networks.
ICB30 Specifications: Sensors are categorized by sensing range and installation type, available in standard, extended, and increased ranges with operating distances of 10 mm, 15 mm, 22 mm, and 40 mm. They are classified by barrel size and installation type.
Sensor Types: Available in 3-wire and 4-wire configurations with NPN and PNP outputs, offering normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), or both NO+NC outputs. Connection options include cable and plug types.
Global Presence: Carlo Gavazzi has a global presence with competence centers and production sites in Denmark, China, Italy, Malta, and Lithuania, with detailed contact information for sales networks across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific regions.
Environmental Commitment: The document is printed on 100% recycled paper, highlighting the company's commitment to environmental sustainability.
