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

The NWI30003 welding inductive sensor is a solution built for industrial automation, where high durability, repeatable performance, and long-term trouble-free operation are required.

The M30 size delivers the maximum detection range in this product line, useful for large resistance-welded structures, Ø30 x 55 mm are proportions that ensure stable detection even under the vibration generated by a resistance-welding machine.

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, 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 open (NO), the NO function simplifies integration with most existing resistance-welding machine control systems
• 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: W1CF-M3010P-O3U2

Applications

• 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.
• It is a component of welding process control systems and resistance welding process control systems, confirming the presence and position of parts.
• It is used in automated welding systems and automated resistance welding systems operating continuously.
• It performs well in robotic welding systems and robotic welding lines, where robots operate without constant operator supervision.

Benefits/Features

• 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.
• It is suited to operation in a strong electromagnetic field, typical of resistance welding and arc welding.
• Its proven EMC resistance is valued by integrators building EMC-resistant industrial sensors for welding and resistance-welding applications.
• Thanks to its high resistance, it performs well in environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as those generated by welding machines.

When to choose this model

• When part-position monitoring is required during automated welding.
• When the resistance-welding process takes place on an automated production line.
• If the sensor is to be used in a location exposed to both spatter and electromagnetic interference at the same time.
• When you need an inductive sensor for a welding robot operating in a demanding environment.
