Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m NPN NO Sn = 10 mm NF

The NMF30001-NF inductive sensor detects only aluminium and non-ferrous metals, ignoring the presence of steel in the sensing area.

The M30 version has been designed for automation systems requiring high durability. The larger Ø30 x 55 mm diameter translates into high resistance to shifting, vibration, and demanding working conditions.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, very large inductive sensor diameter provides maximum detection range
• Length: 55 mm, better resistance to shocks, vibration, and mechanical stress
• 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), material selectivity makes it possible to disregard fine metal residue that should not be treated as the actual workpiece
• 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, resistant to loosening during machine operation and vibration
• Housing material: Stainless steel, suited for operation in moisture, dirt, and harsh industrial conditions
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, resistance to corrosion in humid and chemical environments
• Mounting: Flush mounting, limited lateral detection field increases operating stability
• Switching function: NO, output activated upon detecting a metal object
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable design withstands vibration and frequent installation movement
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, compatible with PLC systems and industrial automation

Applications

• Positioning of aluminium profiles – Using the part-position sensor in aluminium profile positioning systems increases the reliability of industrial automation processes.
• Cutting, milling and turning of aluminium – Use in automating aluminium cutting, milling and turning processes increases production efficiency, even when machining chips are present around the workpiece.
• Electronic enclosures – Use in the production of aluminium electronic enclosures supports automatic assembly control.
• Packaging and labelling – Applications of the NF non-contact sensor include checking the presence of aluminium parts at packaging and labelling stations.
• Positioning of aluminium parts – The NF inductive sensor supports the positioning of aluminium parts when correct part alignment is a precondition for the next operation.

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.
• Reduction of unwanted signals – disregarding individual filings and chips can reduce unwanted signals in processes where the actual target is a larger, solid aluminium workpiece.
• Distance-to-part inspection – can be used to check the position of an aluminium surface relative to the sensing element.
• 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 before resistance welding – the non-contact sensor enables presence checking of a part without mechanical contact with its surface.
• For automatic assembly stations – the part-detection sensor will work well for checking the presence of aluminium components before assembly.
• For applications with aluminium after machining – the model can be used to check the presence of the actual component in an environment where machining residue is present.
• When aluminium must be detected while individual filings and chips are ignored – choose this model for applications where the actual detection target is a solid workpiece, not the fine residue left after its machining.
