4-008-61-0276 SENSOR INDUKTIV 8X8X40/52 SN 2.5mm Spare Part for Homag Edge Bander

When an edge bander stops indexing or loses position feedback, the inductive sensor at the detection point is a first thing to check. A failed sensor at this position interrupts the signal the machine expects from a passing metal target. Replacing it with the correct 4-008-61-0276 restores that detection point on the machine.

The 4-008-61-0276 is an inductive proximity switch sensor measuring 8*8*40mm, with an M8 connector. It carries the IL5021 model reference and the SN=2.5 marking on the body. Fitment is confirmed by matching the 4-008-61-0276 4008610276 part number and the 8*8*40mm size against the sensor on your Homag or BRANDT edge banding machine.

Check the M8 connector thread and the mounting position before fitting. The 8*8*40mm body must sit in the same bracket location as the old sensor so the detection gap stays as the machine expects. An M8 connector seats with a positive thread engagement, so the cable locks in and does not pull loose during the machine cycle.

Supply comes as the sensor with the 4-008-61-0276 4008610276 identification. Customisation is not stated, so order the standard part. With an enquiry, send the machine model, the old sensor's part number and the SN=2.5 marking, plus a photo of the M8 connector and mounting bracket. That lets the fit be checked before you commit to the order.

What the specification fixes, and what it leaves to the machine:

• Detection point replacement — Fits the inductive sensing position on Homag edge banding machines where a metal target must be detected for the machine cycle to continue.
• Body size for bracket fit — The 8*8*40mm body matches the mounting envelope, so the sensor sits in the existing bracket without changing the detection gap.
• M8 connector interface — An M8 connector joins the sensor to the machine cable, giving a threaded connection that stays seated through the edge bander cycle.
• Part number identification — The 4-008-61-0276 4008610276 number on the sensor lets you match it against the old unit before ordering.
• Model reference check — The IL5021 model reference gives a second identifier to compare when the old sensor's label is partly worn or unreadable.
• SN=2.5 marking — The SN=2.5 marking on the body is part of the sensor identification and helps confirm you have the right unit in hand.
• BRANDT machine fit — The sensor is used on BRANDT edge banding machines as well as Homag units, so mixed machine lines can share the same spare.
• Inductive sensing principle — Inductive detection responds to metal targets without contact, so there is no mechanical wear at the sensing face during operation.

What changes on the shop floor when the right part goes back in:

• Restores the detection signal. A dead sensor at the detection point stops the machine from seeing a passing metal target. Fitting the 4-008-61-0276 brings that signal back.
• Matches the existing bracket. The 8*8*40mm body goes into the same mounting position as the old sensor, so the detection gap stays where the machine expects it.
• Connects without adapters. The M8 connector joins directly to the machine cable, so there is no adapter to source and no extra joint that could work loose.
• Two identifiers for checking. The 4-008-61-0276 4008610276 number and the IL5021 reference give two ways to confirm the sensor before it goes on the machine.
• Covers Homag and BRANDT. The same sensor is used on Homag and BRANDT edge banding machines, which simplifies spares for a shop running both makes.
• Non-contact detection. Inductive sensing responds to metal without touching it, so the sensing face does not wear against the target during the machine cycle.
• Clear enquiry path. Sending the machine model, old part markings and a photo of the M8 connector lets the fit be checked before the order is placed.
