Inductive sensor M30 for welding process 55 mm cable 2m NPN NC Sn = 10 mm

The modern NWI30002 Heavy Duty inductive sensor for welding guarantees long service life and reliable performance in applications exposed to intensive loads and harsh environmental conditions.

The M30 size delivers the maximum detection range in this product line, useful for large resistance-welded structures, Ø30 x 55 mm are dimensions that allow quick sensor replacement without dismantling the entire welding setup.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, the maximum detection range in this line, for large parts and welding cells
• Length: 55 mm, an extended housing that provides extra mounting rigidity under harsh welding conditions
• Detection range: 10 mm, a proven detection range under conditions typical of robotic welding
• Housing: Threaded, a threaded housing allows precise adjustment of the sensor's position relative to the weld point
• 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, 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 closed (NC), NC logic detects a missing part as an active signal, which makes it easier to control the resistance-welding process
• 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: W1CF-M3010N-C3U2
