NWI08001

The NWI08001 welding inductive sensor is a solution built for industrial automation, where high durability, repeatable performance, and long-term trouble-free operation are required.

The small M8 dimensions make it easy to integrate with spot-welding gun holders, where every millimeter of space counts, Ø8 x 45 mm is a format that provides good mounting accessibility while maintaining a rugged construction resistant to welding conditions.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M8, the smallest size in this line, good for tight spaces in spot welding
• 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, the housing thread allows fine adjustment of the detection distance during installation on the line
• Housing material: Brass with PTFE coating, the PTFE coating increases the housing's resistance to the contamination typical of a welding environment
• 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 open (NO), standard normally-open logic, compatible with the typical PLC controllers used on welding lines
• 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 typical industrial automation supply voltage, with no need for additional converters
• Electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance: yes, a stable output signal even in the immediate vicinity of the strong electromagnetic fields present during welding
• Catalog number: W1CF-M0801N-O3U2

Applications

• The sensor is a common choice among industrial welding sensors and inductive sensors for welding, mounted directly at the workstation.
• It works well as a welding application sensor and sensor for welding applications, where stable detection of metal parts is essential.
• It belongs to the class of welding cell sensors and inductive sensors for welding cells, used in the enclosed working zones of robots.
• It is an excellent fit for welding stations and automated welding stations, where repeatable, downtime-free operation is required.
• It is used in welding machines and as an inductive sensor for welding machines, monitoring the position and presence of parts.

Benefits/Features

• The construction's resistance to weld spatter keeps the sensor working reliably even in direct contact with hot metal particles.
• The sensor is spatter-resistant against particles generated during welding and resistance welding, reducing the risk of damage to the sensing face.
• Designed to operate in a welding environment, it maintains stable parameters despite harsh ambient conditions.
• It performs well in harsh welding conditions, including elevated temperatures and heavy dust in the work zone.
• As an inductive sensor for harsh industrial conditions, it maintains repeatable detection even under intensive use.

When to choose this model

• When you need a sensor for a robotic welding process where reliable part detection is essential.
• When the sensor must monitor the presence and position of a part during resistance welding.
• When component detection is needed on an automated welding or resistance-welding line.
• When the process requires the use of an industrial proximity sensor resistant to harsh conditions.
