Inductive sensor M12 metal face 50 mm cable 2m PNP NC Sn = 2 mm NF

The professional NMF12004-NF inductive sensor performs excellently in applications where what matters is detecting the actual aluminium workpiece, not individual filings or chips.

The M12 sensor represents a product line for precise detection in industrial machines and automation systems. The Ø12 x 50 mm dimensions promote quick installation, easy replacement, and reduced servicing time for equipment.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M12, stable operation in harsh industrial conditions and during intensive use
• Length: 50 mm, standard housing length for industrial sensors covering a wide range of applications
• Detection range: 2 mm, stable inductive switching characteristics under industrial conditions
• Detected materials: Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals (steel ignored), material selectivity makes it possible to disregard fine metal residue that should not be treated as the actual workpiece
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for aluminium (full rated sensing range), the actual sensing range allows the model to be selected based on the actual distance to the aluminium workpiece
• Housing: Threaded, fastening with lock nuts ensures a stable installation
• Housing material: Stainless steel, resistance to aggressive industrial environments and mechanical damage
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, capable of operating in coolants, oils, and industrial emulsions
• Mounting: Flush mounting, limited lateral detection field increases operating stability
• Switching function: NC, signal continuity monitoring increases system reliability
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable ensures a highly reliable connection in industrial conditions
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, stable operation in DC-powered installations

Applications

• Automotive and assembly of aluminium parts – The non-ferrous metal proximity sensor is used in assembly processes and to verify correct seating of aluminium parts in the automotive industry.
• Aluminium profiles for windows and doors – The NF full-metal inductive sensor ensures stable operation under the demanding conditions of producing aluminium profiles for windows and doors.
• Scrap recycling and sorting – Use in scrap sorting and non-ferrous metal recycling increases the selectivity of the aluminium recovery process.
• Inspection before resistance welding on the production line – Using the part-presence sensor before the resistance-welding process makes it possible to verify that the aluminium component is in the correct position.
• Applications with aluminium filings – The non-ferrous metal detector performs well in applications with aluminium filings, where the actual detection target is a larger, solid workpiece, not fine machining residue.

Benefits/Features

• Monolithic build – being machined from a single piece of metal increases the durability of the solution intended for industrial detection of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
• No reaction to individual aluminium chips – fine chips are not the actual part that is meant to be detected when inspecting an aluminium workpiece.
• Proximity sensor for non-ferrous metals – performs well for non-contact inspection of aluminium parts and other non-ferrous metals.
• Inspection of the actual workpiece – the solution is designed to detect aluminium and non-ferrous parts, not individual fragments generated during machining.
• Predictable design – the actual range stated in the documentation allows the system to be designed in line with specific aluminium detection requirements.

When to choose this model

• For aluminium cutting – the sensor for detecting aluminium will work well for checking the presence and position of parts before a cutting operation.
• For aluminium transport – the material-presence sensor can detect the passage of aluminium parts on a conveyor or production line.
• When the sensor operates close to machinery – the metal sensing face and monolithic construction perform well in locations exposed to contact with the working environment.
• For robotizing aluminium processes – the part-detection sensor can supply the automation system with information about the presence or position of the aluminium workpiece.
