The E2EX8B3D18-M1 is a BASIC Model DC 3-wire inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable object detection. This shielded M18 sensor provides an 8 mm sensing distance and features a dual PNP open-collector output with both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) modes. It connects via a standard M12 connector and supports IO-Link (COM2) communication for enhanced diagnostics and monitoring. Part of the E2E NEXT series, it includes a high-visibility 360-degree LED indicator and robust construction with high resistance to cutting oil, making it ideal for demanding industrial automation and manufacturing environments.
