Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m NPN NC Sn = 13 mm NF

The NMF30012-NF inductive sensor is an industrial-grade solution designed for detecting aluminium workpieces, where individual filings and chips should not trigger a detection signal.

The M30 sensor supports machine performance in modern technological production lines. The Ø30 x 55 mm housing enables stable operation in environments with high mechanical dynamics and heavy loads.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, high mechanical and environmental resistance guarantees a long sensor service life
• Length: 55 mm, larger threaded mounting surface provides a more stable fit
• Detection range: 13 mm, wear resistance thanks to the non-contact metal detection method
• 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, fastening with lock nuts ensures a stable installation
• Housing material: Stainless steel, resistance to aggressive industrial environments and mechanical damage
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, resistance to corrosion in humid and chemical environments
• Mounting: Non-flush mounting, high detection sensitivity for demanding industrial applications
• Switching function: NC, output closed at rest ensures continuous signal monitoring
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable ensures a highly reliable connection in industrial conditions
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, widely used power supply in control systems

Applications

• Vehicle production – Applications of the NF inductive sensor include detecting aluminium parts in automated vehicle production systems.
• Machining fixtures – The non-ferrous metal detector detects the presence of aluminium workpieces in machining fixtures with high repeatability.
• Transport and sorting systems – The inductive sensor for non-ferrous metals performs well in component transport and sorting systems.
• Packaging and labelling – Applications of the NF non-contact sensor include checking the presence of aluminium parts at packaging and labelling stations.
• Inspection after cutting/machining – Applications of the NF proximity sensor include inspecting parts after machining, even in environments containing fine aluminium fragments.

Benefits/Features

• Metal sensing face – the robust metal sensing face performs well in the direct vicinity of machinery, where aluminium parts are detected and individual filings or chips are not the actual detection target.
• Non-contact aluminium detection – the part can be detected without mechanical contact with its surface, while individual filings and chips are not the actual detection target.
• Part position inspection – enables automatic position checking of a part made of aluminium or another non-ferrous metal.
• For applications with aluminium chips – performs well where fine chips generated during machining should not be treated as the detected part.
• Non-contact material inspection – the solution enables automatic detection of aluminium parts without physical contact with the workpiece and without being aimed at individual filings.

When to choose this model

• For aluminium resistance welding – the part-presence sensor can check the correct position of aluminium parts before the resistance-welding process begins.
• For automatic metal presence inspection – the metal presence detector can be used to confirm the presence of the actual aluminium workpiece in the process.
• When cutting generates aluminium chips – the solution will work well in applications where the goal is to detect the actual workpiece, not individual chips generated during machining.
• For aluminium welding stations – non-contact position checking makes it possible to verify that a part is in the correct location before an operation begins.
