Inductive sensor M30 metal face 55 mm cable 2m PNP NO Sn = 13 mm NF

The NMF30013-NF inductive sensor, in a full-metal design, combines high mechanical resistance with selective detection of aluminium and other non-ferrous metals.

This M30 model ensures reliability in industrial installations with intensive use. The Ø30 x 55 mm housing provides maximum installation stability in heavy-industry systems and large production machinery.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M30, designed for heavy industry and demanding industrial automation applications
• Length: 55 mm, better resistance to shocks, vibration, and mechanical stress
• 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, a standard solution used in industrial automation and control systems
• Housing material: Stainless steel, high resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, high mechanical resistance to impact, abrasion, and damage
• Mounting: Non-flush mounting, requires maintaining adequate clearance from surrounding metal parts
• Switching function: NO, normally open resting state, consistent with standard operating logic
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable design withstands vibration and frequent installation movement
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, protection against typical supply voltage fluctuations

Applications

• Stamping and pressing of sheet metal – Using the inductive proximity sensor supports automation of stamping and pressing processes for aluminium sheet metal.
• Robots welding aluminium structures – Applications of the NF proximity sensor include checking the presence of parts in robots welding aluminium structures.
• Bicycle frames and components – The NF full-metal inductive sensor performs well on production lines for aluminium bicycle frames and components.
• Inspection before resistance welding on the production line – Using the part-presence sensor before the resistance-welding process makes it possible to verify that the aluminium component is in the correct position.
• Applications with aluminium filings – The non-ferrous metal detector performs well in applications with aluminium filings, where the actual detection target is a larger, solid workpiece, not fine machining residue.

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.
• Selective part detection – the solution allows inspection to be focused on the actual aluminium part, reducing the significance of individual filings and chips present around it.
• Material specialization – the parameters were selected for applications involving aluminium and non-ferrous metals, not for detecting fine metallic contaminants.
• For non-ferrous metals – the solution can be used to inspect parts made of aluminium and other non-ferrous materials, while retaining characteristics aimed at the actual workpiece.
• Resistance + selective detection – the solid construction allows operation in a harsh environment, while the detection characteristics focus on the actual aluminium workpiece.

When to choose this model

• For aluminium cutting – the sensor for detecting aluminium will work well for checking the presence and position of parts before a cutting operation.
• For aluminium positioning – choose the part-position sensor when correct alignment of the aluminium part is a precondition for performing the next operation.
• 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.
• 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.
