4008610276 Proximity Switch Sensor 4-008-61-0276 For Homag Edge Banding Machine

Product Description

Replacing a dead inductive sensor on a Homag or Brandt edge banding machine? The 4008610276 proximity switch sensor — written 4-008-61-0276 in dashed form, IFM type IL5021 — is an 8 × 8 × 40 mm block with a 2.5 mm sensing distance, normally open output, M8 connector and a 10...30 V DC operating range. The type code on the body reads SENSOR INDUKTIV 8X8X40/52, SN=2.5, NO, so the old unit can be matched before the machine is opened.

Three things keep a spare sensor in the cupboard: a detection point that stops repeating, a replacement that does not fit the 8 mm slot, and a part number nobody can read off the old unit. The 4008610276 proximity switch sensor answers the third one first — both of its numbers are printed on the label and both are in this listing.

It is the inductive proximity switch used on Homag and Brandt edge banding machines, listed as 4008610276, in dashed form as 4-008-61-0276, and built as IFM type IL5021. The type code on the body reads SENSOR INDUKTIV 8X8X40/52, SN=2.5, NO — the three facts you match against the failed sensor before the head is opened.

Sensing distance is 2.5 mm on a metal target, the output is normally open, and the switching frequency runs to 1500 Hz, so a head cycling at production speed still sees a clean signal. Supply range is 10...30 V DC at up to 200 mA, and the cable leaves through an M8 connector instead of a fixed lead.

The body is 8 × 8 × 40 mm, stainless steel with a PBT face, sealed to IP67 and rated -25 °C to +70 °C — it goes into the slot and the M8 port the old one came out of, with no adapter plate and no new bracket.

Product Features

What the marks on this sensor decide:

• 8 × 8 × 40 mm block — the size that fits the existing slot on the head, so the failed unit pulls out and this one drops in.
• 2.5 mm sensing distance — the SN=2.5 in the type code, i.e. the air gap the machine was set up around, unchanged.
• Inductive, not optical — it switches on metal through a PBT face, so adhesive mist and dust do not block detection.
• Normally open output — NO on the type code, matching the switching logic the cabinet already reads, with no inverter after fitting.
• 1500 Hz switching frequency — one clean pulse per cycle at production speed, so the head misses no position signal.
• M8 connector — the plug the machine harness already carries, so the swap involves no cut lead and no re-sealed gland.
• 10...30 V DC, up to 200 mA — the machine-tool supply window, so it runs off the cabinet rail it was specified for.
• IP67 sealing — dust tight and protected against water jets, which is what a banding line with wash-down asks of a sensor.
• Stainless steel shell, PBT face — steel takes the clamping load, plastic sits on the sensing side.
• Two numbers, one part — 4008610276 and 4-008-61-0276 reach the same sensor; IFM IL5021 is the model to quote when only the face is legible.

Product Advantages

The real choice on the floor is a sensor today or a head standing still for a courier:

• Fits the slot, not a bracket. 8 × 8 × 40 mm matches the space the failed sensor came out of, so the repair stays a swap, not a fabrication job.
• The old number orders the new part. 4008610276, 4-008-61-0276 and IFM IL5021 all identify this unit, so purchasing does not guess from a photo of a dirty sensor.
• Same signal the cabinet saw before. 2.5 mm, normally open, 1500 Hz — the control reads the same edge as on the previous sensor, so nothing is retuned after the swap.
• Plugs in, does not wire in. The M8 connector takes the existing harness, which keeps the job to minutes and the cabinet entry sealed.
• Built for the line it sits on. IP67, -25 °C to +70 °C and a stainless steel shell: adhesive mist and wash-down are what end a sensor early, and both are covered.
• No amplifier to mount. 10...30 V DC in, open output out, up to 200 mA — a self-contained switch, so no separate amplifier card to fit and adjust.
• One bin instead of two. Two formats of one number means one stock line and one reorder point, not two bins of the same 8 mm sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this sensor fit my Homag edge banding machine?

Yes, if the old sensor carries 4-008-61-0276 or 4008610276. It is listed as a spare for Homag and Brandt edge banding machines, IFM type IL5021, 8 × 8 × 40 mm with an M8 connector. Compare the number and the type code on the failed unit before ordering, because another sensor with the same body size will not share these numbers.

Is IFM IL5021 the same part as 4-008-61-0276?

Yes. IL5021 is the sensor model, 4008610276 is the eight-digit part number and 4-008-61-0276 is the same number in dashed form. Any of the three reaches this item; the type code on the body — SENSOR INDUKTIV 8X8X40/52, SN=2.5, NO — is printed on the same label.

How far away does it detect metal?

2.5 mm. That is the SN=2.5 in the type code, an inductive sensing distance on a metal target, which is why the sensor sits close to the cam or flag it watches rather than at a distance.

Is the output normally open?

Yes, normally open. The NO in the type code means the output closes when a metal target enters the 2.5 mm range, so the control cabinet sees the same switching logic it saw before the failure.

What supply and current does it need?

10...30 V DC and up to 200 mA. The wide DC window means it runs on a standard machine-tool rail without a separate supply, and switching frequency reaches 1500 Hz at that rating.

What size is it, and how does the cable connect?

8 × 8 × 40 mm, with an M8 connector. The connector is the reason the swap is quick: unplug the old sensor, plug in the new one, and the harness and cabinet entry stay untouched.

Will it survive glue mist and wash-down on a bander?

Yes, IP67 and -25 °C to +70 °C. The housing is stainless steel with a PBT plastic face, so the sensing side is not a metal surface that adhesive can bridge, and the seal covers dust plus water jets.

How do I confirm the right sensor before the machine is opened?

Read the three marks on the old body. Check the part number (4-008-61-0276 or 4008610276), the type code (SENSOR INDUKTIV 8X8X40/52, SN=2.5, NO) and the connector (M8). Match those, and the 8 × 8 × 40 mm body will go into the same slot.
