IFW200 (IFK3003BBPKG/K1/SC/US104) is an ifm inductive sensor for welding applications with a 3 mm sensing range and correction factor K = 1. Steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminium and copper are all detected at the same distance, and the sensor is immune to magnetic fields up to 300 mT.
- Sensing range: 3 mm ± 10 %, operating distance 0...2.4 mm, K = 1 for all metals
- Output: PNP, NO, 100 mA, switching frequency 2000 Hz
- Supply: 10...30 VDC, consumption < 20 mA; short-circuit, overload and reverse polarity protection
- Housing: M12 x 1, brass with anti-spatter coating, black LCP sensing face, length 65 mm, flush mountable
- Environment: IP67, operating temperature -25...+70 °C, magnetic field immunity 300 mT
- Connection: M12 connector, A-coded, 3-pin, gold-plated contacts
Used for part presence and position checks in welding cells and fixtures, where welding current fields and spatter would cause false switching on a standard sensor. Four yellow LEDs at 90° show the switching state from any side.
UL approved (file E174191). EMC to EN 55011 class B. MTTF 665 years.
