Inductive sensor M12 for welding process 30 mm cable 2m PNP NO Sn = 2 mm

The NWI12023 inductive sensor for welding applications provides resistance to electromagnetic fields, metal spatter, oils, coolants, and other factors present in the production environment.

The M12 sensor works well as a universal solution for most welding and resistance-welding stations, Ø12 x 30 mm are dimensions proven in practice on resistance-welding lines, combining a small footprint with a durable construction.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M12, a good compromise between size and detection range in welding applications
• Length: 30 mm, a compact housing, convenient where mounting space around the resistance-welding machine is limited
• Detection range: 2 mm, repeatable detection of metal parts regardless of the interference generated during welding
• Housing: Threaded, the housing thread allows fine adjustment of the detection distance during installation on the line
• Housing material: Brass with PTFE coating, the PTFE coating increases the housing's resistance to the contamination typical of a welding environment
• Sensor face material: PTFE, a PTFE sensing face prevents metal spatter from welding and resistance welding from sticking
• Mounting: Flush mounting, the flush version allows the sensor to be recessed into the metal fixtures of the welding station
• Switching function: normally open (NO), standard normally-open logic, compatible with the typical PLC controllers used on welding lines
• Output type: PNP, a PNP output that is standard for most new welding automation installations
• Connection: with a 2 m cable, a cable of suitable length makes it easy to route the wiring away from the hottest zone of the weld
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, a typical industrial automation supply voltage, with no need for additional converters
• Electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance: yes, EMC resistance allows mounting close to a resistance-welding machine's coils and current-carrying cables without signal loss
• Catalog number: W1CF-M1202P-O3S2
