Inductive sensor M12 for welding process 50 mm cable 2m NPN NO Sn = 4 mm

The advanced NWI12011 welding inductive sensor supports the efficient operation of industrial machines and equipment, providing precise detection and high operating reliability.

The versatile M12 size offers a good compromise between compact construction and detection range in welding applications, Ø12 x 50 mm is a format that provides good mounting accessibility while maintaining a rugged construction resistant to welding conditions.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M12, a good compromise between size and detection range in welding applications
• Length: 50 mm, a short length that makes mounting easier in densely packed welding stations
• Detection range: 4 mm, a proven detection range under conditions typical of robotic welding
• Housing: Threaded, the housing thread allows fine adjustment of the detection distance during installation on the line
• Housing material: Brass with PTFE coating, a PTFE layer on the brass housing reduces weld spatter sticking to the sensor's surface
• Sensor face material: PTFE, the PTFE coating on the sensing face makes cleaning the station easier without risking damage to the sensor
• Mounting: Non-flush mounting, the non-flush version makes use of the full detection range, useful with larger welded parts
• Switching function: normally open (NO), standard normally-open logic, compatible with the typical PLC controllers used on welding lines
• Output type: NPN, an NPN output compatible with the controllers commonly used in welding automation
• Connection: with a 2 m cable, a cable resistant to the vibration and frequent movement typical of welding robots
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, a standard voltage range compatible with the power supply of most welding-line control cabinets
• Electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance: yes, proven resistance to the electromagnetic interference generated by resistance-welding machines and welding robots
• Catalog number: W1CN-M1204N-O3U2

Applications

• It works well as a resistance welding sensor and resistance-welding equipment sensor, mounted directly on the arm or gun holder of the welding machine.
• It is an inductive sensor for resistance welding, used where the process generates a strong electromagnetic field and high temperatures.
• Used in resistance welding machines and resistance-welding equipment, it supports precise positioning of parts before welding.
• It works well as a spot welding sensor and supports resistance welding automation on production lines.
• It is used in resistance-welding robots as an inductive sensor for resistance-welding robots, operating in the immediate vicinity of the weld point.

Benefits/Features

• Being temperature-resistant, it can operate in the immediate vicinity of the heat-affected zone without risk of overheating its electronic components.
• A sensing face that is resistant to contamination and resistant to dust maintains stable detection sensitivity even in heavily dust-laden production halls.
• It performs well in heavy-duty operating conditions, typical of welding and resistance-welding shops, where sensors are exposed to vibration and contamination.
• As an industrial sensor for harsh conditions, it is a popular choice for demanding industrial applications and demanding welding applications.
• A construction resistant to the welding environment and to spatter generated during welding extends the sensor's real service life on the line.

When to choose this model

• When the welding process requires non-contact detection of part presence.
• If you need a sensor for operation in a demanding resistance-welding environment.
• When component detection is needed on an automated welding or resistance-welding line.
• When the model is to support resistance-welding process automation through part-position monitoring.
