IGC205 Applications

The IFM IGC205 is an inductive proximity sensor used in machine tools and metalworking where oils and coolants are present. It is suited for position and presence detection on tool changers, indexing tables and clamping systems in factory automation. The increased 12 mm sensing range gives high uptime and installation tolerance, the IP68 brass housing withstands harsh industrial environments, and clearly visible 4-way LED switching indication simplifies commissioning and fault-finding.
