 Inductive PROXINOX-

PROXINOX-sensors
withstands the harshest
cleaning processes
In the food and beverage
industry, the chemical
industry, and even conveying
operations, inductive
proximity sensors are
routinely cleaned with
more and more aggressive
agents. Whether it's acids,
base, steam, foam or high
pressure cleaning equipment
the technology in the new
PROXINOX-stainless steel
sensors is especially
designed for these harsh
conditions.
Features
No function display
directly on sensor:
the hole for the LED is a
potential source of danger
when cleaning, as well
as a possible entry for
bacteria. The function
display is completely
wrapped in the transpa-
rent plastic of the
connector.
Housing of stainless steel:
type 1.4571 stainless
steel is what the food and
beverage industry
demands. The connector
plug must also be capable
of withstanding cleaning
and disinfecting agents.

 Inductive
Sensors PROXIMAX-Sensors
PROXIMAX
a sensor concept for
machine tools
Sensors are subjected
to extreme stresses on a
machine tool.
This has led to the design
of the PROXIMAX concept
for inductive proximity
switches. Mechanical
resistance was given special
attention in this design.
As opposed to traditional
approaches, the front
section of the switch is
molded with Duromer. All the
important components are
housed in this section, the
sensor oscillator circuit and
the bonded IC. The cavity-
free material surrounds the
electronic parts and makes
the switch insensitive to
shock and vibration.
The mineral-filled and
fiber- glass reinforced epoxy
potting is also extremely
resistant to chemicals,
abrasion resistant, and
can withstand continuous
temperatures. Such a
molded proximity switch can
even withstand the flame of
a blowtorch for a short time.
This guarantees that it will
hold up against any kind of
hot chips, even if they stick
to the active surface.
