What it does and why it stands out
The E2EW-X12B1T18 2M is a weld-field-immune metal-faced inductive proximity sensor. Shielded M18 body, PNP output, IO-Link COM3, rated IP67. Sensing distance is 12 mm on both aluminum and iron — no derating for non-ferrous targets. Supply 10 to 30 VDC, normally open, with a 2 m PVC cable. The equal sensing on aluminum and iron is the headline feature. Standard inductive sensors lose half their range on aluminum; this one holds the full 12 mm. The stainless steel face (SUS303) and case handle weld spatter and thermal shock on robotic weld cells or stamping lines.
M18 shielded barrel, overall length 41.5 mm. PNP output with IO-Link COM3, three-wire DC, 2 m PVC cable.
