Inductive sensor M30 for welding process 55 mm cable 2m NPN NO Sn = 10 mm

The advanced NWI30001 welding inductive sensor supports the efficient operation of industrial machines and equipment, providing precise detection and high operating reliability.

The M30 sensor performs well in heavy-duty welding applications, where long range and rugged construction matter most, Ø30 x 55 mm is a format well matched to the typical mounting brackets used at welding stations.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, a rugged construction built for the most demanding resistance-welding stations
• Length: 55 mm, a longer sensor body that allows mounting further away from the hottest zone of the weld
• Detection range: 10 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, 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, flush mounting protects the sensor from side impacts and spatter
• Switching function: normally open (NO), standard normally-open logic, compatible with the typical PLC controllers used on welding lines
• Output type: NPN, the NPN output type works well with the typical PLC controller inputs on resistance-welding lines
• 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 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-O3U2

Applications

• It is used within the Industry 4.0 concept in welding and resistance welding, where sensor data feeds into production monitoring systems.
• It supports the robotization of welding processes and the robotization of resistance-welding processes, increasing line repeatability and throughput.
• It is used in production automation and production robotization at plants where welding and resistance welding are a key process step.
• The sensor is a common choice among industrial welding sensors and inductive sensors for welding, mounted directly at the workstation.
• It works well as a welding application sensor and sensor for welding applications, where stable detection of metal parts is essential.

Benefits/Features

• It maintains signal stability as a welding sensor resistant to electromagnetic interference, reducing the number of false detections.
• Stable operation of the inductive sensor in the welding environment and resistance to electromagnetic interference during welding are key features of this model.
• A robust, fully enclosed construction and high-quality housing materials ensure a long service life under continuous-duty cycles.
• The construction's resistance to weld spatter keeps the sensor working reliably even in direct contact with hot metal particles.
• The sensor is spatter-resistant against particles generated during welding and resistance welding, reducing the risk of damage to the sensing face.

When to choose this model

• When the sensor will be used on an automated welding line and must provide stable detection of metal parts.
• If reliable part detection is required in a resistance-welding machine.
• When the sensor must confirm part presence before a welding operation is performed.
• When the process requires the use of an industrial proximity sensor resistant to harsh conditions.
