Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m NPN NC Sn = 10 mm NF

The NMF30002-NF full-metal inductive sensor provides the full rated sensing range for aluminium (K = 1), without the typical range reduction applied to non-ferrous metals.

The M30 inductive sensor is an element of large-scale production installations. The Ø30 x 55 mm format allows use in systems requiring a large active surface, high resistance, and reliable operation.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, designed for heavy industry and demanding industrial automation applications
• Length: 55 mm, suited for operation in demanding industrial conditions
• Detection range: 10 mm, detection range depending on the diameter and design of the inductive sensor
• Detected materials: Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals (steel ignored), steel and its derivatives are not a detection target, which reduces the number of unwanted signals in aluminium processes
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for aluminium (full rated sensing range), the full rated range for aluminium makes it easier to design applications without additional assumptions about range reduction
• Housing: Threaded, allows precise positioning of the sensor during installation
• Housing material: Stainless steel, increased mechanical strength of the housing ensures a long service life
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, increased durability of the sensor's active face under intensive use
• Mounting: Flush mounting, reduced sensitivity to mechanical damage during use
• Switching function: NC, output disconnects upon detecting a metal object
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable ensures a highly reliable connection in industrial conditions
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, protection against typical supply voltage fluctuations

Applications

• Automotive assembly lines – The NF aluminium detector enables position control of aluminium parts on automotive assembly lines.
• Inspection before resistance welding – The NF sensor supports automatic position checking of parts before resistance-welding aluminium components at welding stations.
• Anodizing and surface treatment – Used to check the position of aluminium profiles on anodizing and surface treatment lines.
• Packaging and labelling – Applications of the NF non-contact sensor include checking the presence of aluminium parts at packaging and labelling stations.
• Multiple processes in one solution – The NF inductive sensor is used where a single solution must handle multiple aluminium-related processes: cutting, stamping, welding, resistance welding, assembly and transport of parts.

Benefits/Features

• Monolithic build – being machined from a single piece of metal increases the durability of the solution intended for industrial detection of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.
• No reaction to individual aluminium chips – fine chips are not the actual part that is meant to be detected when inspecting an aluminium workpiece.
• Operating selectivity – the ability to disregard individual filings and chips allows operation to be focused on the actual aluminium workpiece.
• Fewer random signals – reducing reactions to fine aluminium residue can be beneficial in applications where what matters is the presence of the whole part.
• Detection excluding filings and chips as the actual target – the solution was designed to inspect a solid aluminium part, not to detect fine machining residue.

When to choose this model

• For inspecting parts after cutting – the part-presence sensor will work well for automatically confirming that an aluminium workpiece is in the correct position.
• For automatic assembly stations – the part-detection sensor will work well for checking the presence of aluminium components before assembly.
• When you don't need a contaminant detector – choose this model if the device's task is to detect the actual aluminium part, not to check for metallic contaminants.
• For robotizing aluminium processes – the part-detection sensor can supply the automation system with information about the presence or position of the aluminium workpiece.
