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

The NMF30003-NF inductive sensor supports the control of aluminium production processes, ensuring stable and repeatable detection of the actual workpiece.

This M30 inductive sensor was developed for demanding industrial applications. The large Ø30 x 55 mm diameter provides maximum mounting stability in heavy-duty industrial applications and demanding automation systems.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, maximum detection range in this size class expands application possibilities
• Length: 55 mm, suited for operation in demanding industrial conditions
• Detection range: 10 mm, wear resistance thanks to the non-contact metal detection method
• Detected materials: Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals (steel ignored), detection focused on the actual aluminium part, not on individual filings or chips generated during machining
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for aluminium (full rated sensing range), the correction factor K = 1 means that the rated range Sn applies directly to aluminium, without the typical reduction applied to non-ferrous metals
• Housing: Threaded, resistant to loosening during machine operation and vibration
• Housing material: Stainless steel, long sensor lifespan even under intensive use
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, capable of operating in coolants, oils, and industrial emulsions
• Mounting: Flush mounting, mounting into metal surfaces per the flush standard
• Switching function: NO, signal generated during detection of a metal object
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable ensures a highly reliable connection in industrial conditions
• 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 and preparation of profiles – The inductive sensor for detecting aluminium performs well on cutting and preparation lines for aluminium profiles prior to further processing.
• Robotic cells – The NF series detection device is used in robotic cells handling aluminium parts in continuous-cycle operation.
• Assembly of building structures – The NF inductive sensor supports automation of aluminium structure assembly processes in the construction industry.
• 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

• Non-ferrous metal detection – the device performs well when inspecting parts made of aluminium and other non-ferrous materials, where fine metal residue should not be treated as the actual workpiece.
• No reaction to individual aluminium chips – fine chips are not the actual part that is meant to be detected when inspecting an aluminium workpiece.
• Material specialization – the parameters were selected for applications involving aluminium and non-ferrous metals, not for detecting fine metallic contaminants.
• K = 1 + non-ferrous metals – the K = 1 correction factor is an important parameter when designing applications that use non-ferrous materials.
• 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 aluminium welding – choose this model for automatic position checking of aluminium parts during preparation and operation of welding stations.
• When you need a full-metal construction – choose this model for industrial applications where high mechanical resistance is required.
• When the sensor operates close to machinery – the metal sensing face and monolithic construction perform well in locations exposed to contact with the working environment.
• When you need a specialized solution for aluminium and non-ferrous metals – choose a full-metal inductive sensor with K = 1 and a genuine rated range, designed for non-contact detection of actual workpieces in processes such as cutting, stamping, welding, resistance welding and automatic assembly, without being aimed at detecting individual filings and chips.
