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

The NWI30004 Heavy Duty industrial inductive sensor delivers reliable operation near welding stations, where high temperatures, strong electromagnetic fields, and weld spatter are present.

The large M30 diameter enables detection of parts from a greater distance, which matters in welding cells with large components, Ø30 x 55 mm is a format well matched to the typical mounting brackets used at welding stations.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, the largest size in the range, for applications requiring a long detection distance
• Length: 55 mm, an extended housing that provides extra mounting rigidity under harsh welding conditions
• Detection range: 10 mm, repeatable detection of metal parts regardless of the interference generated during 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, the PTFE coating on the sensing face makes cleaning the station easier without risking damage to the sensor
• 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), a normally-closed function useful in the safety circuits of welding stations
• Output type: PNP, a PNP output that is standard for most new welding automation installations
• 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 typical industrial automation supply voltage, with no need for additional converters
• Electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance: yes, proven resistance to the electromagnetic interference generated by resistance-welding machines and welding robots
• Catalog number: W1CF-M3010P-C3U2

Applications

• It works well as a welding application sensor and sensor for welding applications, where stable detection of metal parts is essential.
