Abstract

A sensor device for a hot zone of a vehicle production plant includes a magnet element that is actuatable from an initial position into a deflected position when a vehicle component approaches the magnet element. An electrical circuit is open when the magnet element is arranged in the initial position and is closed when the magnet element is actuated from the initial position into the deflected position. An output element outputs a signal characterizing an ascertained approach of the vehicle component when the electrical circuit is closed.
