Competitive situation Performance Web overview SICK IMB, TURCK Washdown & BALLUFF Proxinox (F&B sensors) tie for 1st place. IMB better performance not proven yet. IFM rated lower due to its internal foam filling IMB is the only sensor with intelligent functions. Omron offers a diagnostic output on select models. SICK IMB, Omron E2E, and Balluff Proxinox tie for 1st place. Better IMB performance not proven yet IMB with lowest list price after OMRON E2A IMB best-in-class due to widest temperature range (within 10% drift) TURCK Washdown & BALLUFF Proxinox (F&B sensors) better than IMB due to AISI316 steel. However, look at the price… IMB best-in-class due to highest shock rating and self locking nuts to protect against shock and vibration IMB best-in-class due to highest tightning torque values & stainless steel housing Börge Wegner | IMB Training | CONFIDENTIAL I FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
