Product Introduction
Our GX-300 Cylindrical Proximity Sensor is an amplifier-built-in cylindrical inductive proximity sensor supporting IO-Link communication. It evolves from simple ON/OFF judgment sensors to devices capable of outputting measured values and status signals. The threaded M8/M12/M18/M30 structure supports PNP output and IO-Link function. It can also work as standard PNP proximity sensors, with CE, UL and cULus certifications for industrial automation applications.

FAQ
Q: What advantages does IO-Link bring for daily factory operation?
A: It supports bidirectional communication between sensor and host controller. It can upload measured data, device ID and operation mode information, and send alarm signals when wire break or short circuit occurs, greatly simplifying on-site troubleshooting and maintenance work.
Q: What types of metal objects can this proximity sensor detect?
A: It is designed for metal target detection. It can identify standard metal workpieces in automated production, and detection distance varies according to the material and size of the detected metal.
Q: What is the difference between shielded type and non-shielded type?
A: Shielded type allows flush mounting. Non-shielded type features longer sensing distance, but requires reserved space around the sensor during installation.
