The Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 from IFM is a proven solution for object detection applications across the manufacturing sector. Flush-mount inductive proximity sensor for non-contact metal detection in automated production lines.

Engineered to 8mm sensing distance, M18 diameter, PNP/NPN output, this unit is built for demanding industrial duty cycles.

Tunnel Fox sources the IFM Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 directly from authorised distribution channels, so every unit ships with original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) traceability — critical for plants running ISO-certified maintenance programmes or warranty-backed asset registers.

IFM has a long-standing reputation for delivering reliable object detection components, and the Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 fits naturally into greenfield builds, brownfield retrofits, and routine replacement cycles.

For South African industrial operators, getting the right object detection component on site quickly often makes the difference between a contained downtime event and a full production outage. We hold quote-ready relationships with global IFM distribution partners and can ship to mine sites, processing plants, ports, and workshop addresses anywhere in the country.
