The iProx represents the highest performance, most versatile tubular inductive sensor offered by Eaton’s Electrical Sector. By utilizing an embedded microprocessor and exclusive SmartSense™ technology, iProx can sense up to three times farther than typical sensors of its class, while providing an unheard-of level of customization.
Both shielded and unshielded versions of iProx feature extended sensing ranges. This allows the sensor to be mounted farther from the target, thereby reducing the potential for target impacts and increasing the sensing reliability of your application.
The iProx also includes a wide range of advanced features that can be enabled via optional programming tools. Using the ProxView Windows-based software package, an entirely custom sensor can be programmed to perfectly fit an application.
Sensor characteristics, such as sensing range, can be customized down to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. Outputs can be changed from NO to NC. The iProx even features built-in timing delays and speed detection logic— no PLC programming is necessary.
With extended sensing range, quality construction and the ability to adapt to its environment, iProx is the ideal choice for even the most demanding inductive sensing applications.
