Inductive sensor M8 for welding process 45 mm cable 2m NPN NC Sn = 1 mm

The NWI08002 industrial inductive sensor for welding features high resistance to electromagnetic interference, weld spatter, and intensive use in a production environment.

The small M8 dimensions make it easy to integrate with spot-welding gun holders, where every millimeter of space counts, Ø8 x 45 mm are proportions that ensure stable detection even under the vibration generated by a resistance-welding machine.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M8, a convenient size for stations with limited mounting space
• Length: 45 mm, a short length that makes mounting easier in densely packed welding stations
• Detection range: 1 mm, repeatable detection of metal parts regardless of the interference generated during welding
• Housing: Threaded, a threaded housing allows precise adjustment of the sensor's position relative to the weld point
• Housing material: Brass with PTFE coating, a PTFE layer on the brass housing reduces weld spatter sticking to the sensor's surface
• Sensor face material: PTFE, the PTFE material keeps detection parameters stable even after repeated contact with spatter
• Mounting: Flush mounting, flush mounting protects the sensor from side impacts and spatter
• Switching function: normally closed (NC), a normally-closed function useful in the safety circuits of welding stations
• Output type: NPN, an NPN output compatible with the controllers commonly used in welding automation
• Connection: with a 2 m cable, a cable of suitable length makes it easy to route the wiring away from the hottest zone of the weld
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, a standard voltage range compatible with the power supply of most welding-line control cabinets
• Electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance: yes, proven resistance to the electromagnetic interference generated by resistance-welding machines and welding robots
• Catalog number: W1CF-M0801N-C3U2
