Inductive sensor M30 for welding process 55 mm cable 2m PNP NC Sn = 15 mm

The NWI30014 welding inductive sensor is an efficient solution for industrial robotics, positioning systems, and advanced control systems used in welding processes.

The M30 format allows mounting in the heavy-duty holders of resistance-welding machines without any loss of mechanical stability, Ø30 x 55 mm are dimensions that allow quick sensor replacement without dismantling the entire welding setup.

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: 15 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, the PTFE coating increases the housing's resistance to the contamination typical of a welding environment
• 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, non-flush mounting provides a longer detection range when adequate mounting space is available
• 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: PNP, the PNP output type simplifies integration with the safety modules of resistance-welding robots
• 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, EMC resistance allows mounting close to a resistance-welding machine's coils and current-carrying cables without signal loss
• Catalog number: W1CN-M3015P-C3U2

Applications

• It is used in resistance-welding robots as an inductive sensor for resistance-welding robots, operating in the immediate vicinity of the weld point.
• Used on resistance-welding lines and automated resistance welding lines, where cycle repeatability matters most.
• It functions as a position sensor for resistance welding machines and a part-presence sensor for resistance welding, confirming correct part placement before the cycle.
• It supports position control in resistance welding, signaling the machine controller that a part is present in the work zone.
• It is used in welding automation systems and resistance welding automation systems as a feedback element for the PLC controller.

Benefits/Features

• A construction resistant to the welding environment and to spatter generated during welding extends the sensor's real service life on the line.
• An IP67-rated housing protects the sensor's interior against dust and water jets, which matters when cleaning a welding station.
• The sensor is resistant to electromagnetic interference, keeping its output signal stable near operating resistance welding machines.
• As an inductive sensor resistant to electromagnetic interference, it does not generate false triggers during the welding cycle.
• Proven to be resistant to electromagnetic fields, it operates reliably even in the immediate vicinity of the coils and current-carrying cables of a welding machine.

When to choose this model

• When you need a sensor for a robotic welding process where reliable part detection is essential.
• When the sensor will operate under the harsh conditions of a welding process.
• If the sensor is to be used in a location exposed to both spatter and electromagnetic interference at the same time.
• If reliable detection is required at an automated welding or resistance-welding station.
