It is because SUNX is the leading manufacturer of inductive proximity sensors that we have been able to accumulate our sensor technology to develop high-precision inductive proximity sensors that can be used at any time and anywhere. The requirements of our customers have been accommodated by basic performance which is not to be found with other manufacturers.

P.6 GX-F/H SERIES 2 1 Customer requirements We're frustrated because sensing results weren't stable. And the screw mounting method makes it difficult to adjust the sensor position. [ <Have you ever had this experience?> Identifying type of workpiece by palette dogs ] iThe positions of rectangular inductive proximity sensors which are installed using screws cannot be adjusted, and so they have been designed with as short sensing ranges as possible to minimize variations caused by the sensing range. iThe sensor used as a replacement for maintenance has a longer sensing range, so that not only the dog but also the base was detected, meaning that position adjustment is necessary. Operating error Dogs Answer of GX-F/H series Industry No.1 Stable sensing! Variation at the maximum operation distance is within 8 % Maximum operation distance variation: 0.4 mm 0.016 in or less* 0.4 mm 0.016 in or less For the GX-8 Standard sensing object 60% Maximum operation distance: 2.5 mm 0.098 in 8 % (2.3 to 2.7 mm 0.091 to 0.106 in) less Maximum operation distance variation: 1.0 mm 0.039 in or less 1.0 mm 0.039 in or less Previous model Image Standard sensing object Maximum operation distance: 2.5 mm 0.098 in 20 % (2.0 to 3.0 mm 0.079 to 0.118 in) Thorough adjustment and control of sensing sensitivity greatly reduces individual sensor differences and variations. The work of adjusting sensor positions when using multiple sensors and when sensors have been replaced has become much easier. * Not including temperature characteristics. GX-12 has a variation of 0.64 mm 0.025 in or less for a maximum operation distance of 4 mm 0.157 in Answer of GX-F/H series The longest stable sensing range in the industry gives you much greater flexibility. 3 GX-F/H SERIES 2 Customer requirements When the sensing position changes because of temperature variations during the morning, afternoon and nighttime, fine adjustments become very difficult to make. [ <Have you ever had this experience?> Sensing the starting point of a moving body Stop position during the morning and evening Stop position during the daytime ] iTemperature differences between morning and nighttime or as a result of seasonal changes cause slight shifts in the sensing position. iEvery time when the equipment is moved to a place with different weather conditions, readjustments are necessary.

IP68g* protective construction Customer requirements We'd really like to have sensors that let you see the operating status at a glance. Answer of GX-F/H series Indicators are easy to see over a wide field of view GX-H GX-F The new integrated construction method used improves environmental resistance performance. The IP68g prevents damage to the sensor by stopping water and oil from getting inside. * For details, refer to the "SPECIFICATIONS" (p.8~) 5 GX-F/H SERIES A prism with a wide field of view has been developed. This has greatly improved the visibility of the operation indicators. 6 Customer requirements 7 If you tighten the screws too tightly, it will damage the sensors. Answer of GX-F/H series Customer requirements There are too many thin wires which are very difficult to work with! Answer of GX-F/H series Tightening strength increased with no damage!
