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

The industrial NMF30004-NF inductive sensor in the NF version stands out for its material selectivity - it detects aluminium and non-ferrous metals while ignoring steel and its derivatives.

The M30 sensor is part of a range of solutions for heavy industry and serial production. The Ø30 x 55 mm housing guarantees an exceptionally secure fit in structures exposed to heavy mechanical loads.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, stable operation at long detection distances and under intensive use
• Length: 55 mm, used in large industrial installations requiring high reliability
• 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, resistance to aggressive industrial environments and mechanical damage
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, increased durability of the sensor's active face under intensive use
• Mounting: Flush mounting, stable operating characteristics around metal surroundings
• Switching function: NC, used in safety functions and operational monitoring
• Cable length: 2 m, cable sensors are used where a durable, sealed, non-detachable connection is required
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, compatible with PLC systems and industrial automation

Applications

• Stamping and pressing of sheet metal – Using the inductive proximity sensor supports automation of stamping and pressing processes for aluminium sheet metal.
• Aluminium packaging – The NF part-presence sensor performs well on packaging lines for aluminium packaging such as cans or foil.
• Automatic parts feeding – Use in automatic feeding of aluminium parts on production lines increases process flow.
• Inspection after cutting – The NF sensor is used to inspect parts after cutting, confirming their correct position on the production line.
• Compact detection setups – The compact design of the NF sensor makes it easier to design aluminium detection stations in locations with limited installation space.

Benefits/Features

• Full-metal construction – the monolithic design, machined from a single piece of metal, provides high mechanical resistance and allows the solution to be used in demanding applications involving the detection of aluminium and non-ferrous metals, where the presence of filings and chips should not affect the inspection of the actual workpiece.
• Part position sensor – enables position checking of an aluminium part within a machine, focusing detection on the actual workpiece.
• Resistant metal sensing face – the metal sensing face provides additional protection when operating near aluminium workpieces, including in environments where chips are present.
• Full range + aluminium – K = 1 allows the rated range to be applied directly to the detection of the aluminium part.
• Predictable design – the actual range stated in the documentation allows the system to be designed in line with specific aluminium detection requirements.

When to choose this model

• For automating aluminium production processes – the metal sensor can check the position and presence of aluminium components at successive production stages.
• For aluminium production lines – choose the aluminium sensor when you need automatic checking of part presence and position.
• When the process generates aluminium filings – choose this model if the actual detection target is a larger, solid workpiece, and individual filings should not be treated as the actual part.
• When you need a combination of durability and K = 1 – choose the full-metal proximity sensor if the application requires a resistant construction and the full rated range for aluminium.
