Inductive sensor M30 for welding process 79 mm connector M12 PNP NO Sn = 15 mm

The rugged NWI30113 welding inductive sensor is a reliable solution for welding robots, resistance-welding stations, and automated production lines that require precise detection.

The M30 sensor performs well in heavy-duty welding applications, where long range and rugged construction matter most, Ø30 x 79 mm are dimensions proven in practice on resistance-welding lines, combining a small footprint with a durable construction.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, a rugged construction built for the most demanding resistance-welding stations
• Length: 79 mm, an extended housing that provides extra mounting rigidity under harsh welding conditions
• Detection range: 15 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, 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, the non-flush version makes use of the full detection range, useful with larger welded parts
• Switching function: normally open (NO), standard normally-open logic, compatible with the typical PLC controllers used on welding lines
• Output type: PNP, a PNP output that is standard for most new welding automation installations
• Connection: with a M12 plug connector, the plug connector simplifies servicing on the production line, reducing downtime at the resistance-welding station
• 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: W1CN-M3015P-OEU4

Applications

• It supports the operation of smart welding lines and smart welding stations integrated with higher-level control systems.
