Adaptable Inductive Proximity Sensor to Solve Your Unsolvable Applications
The Cutler-Hammer® iProx from Eaton's electrical business is a field programmable and adaptable inductive proximity sensor with Smart-Sense™ technology. SmartSense utilizes an exclusive, embedded micro-processor, allowing the iProx to perform unique sensing functions at extended sensing ranges.
These capabilities include programmable attributes such as sensing range (adjustable to the nearest tenth of a millimeter), output types (autoconfiguration, NPN or PNP), contact types (normally open or normally closed), response time and noise immunity (from 10 to 20 volts per meter). No other inductive sensor on the market offers such extensive programmability.
Furthermore, additional programmable features include: band sensing, which allows the sensor to detect only within a specified distance or band; position sensing, enabling target detection along multiple axes; and background metal rejection, which tells the sensor to ignore sideground, foreground or background metal objects.
With the addition of the new programming tools including the Remote Programmer, Tray Programmer, Remote Programming Device and the new and improved iProx Programming Software for Microsoft Windows and Windows Mobile devices customizing your iProx Standard sensor has never been easier.
iProx™
The iProx offers the utmost flexibility in both design and manufacturing. This means you may order the iProx Standard pre-configured at the factory to your unique specification. Or program it to adapt it to your environment at your site, reducing inventory and costly downtime.
