Inductive sensor M8 for welding process 45 mm cable 2m NPN NO Sn = 2 mm

The NWI08011 inductive sensor for the welding environment ensures reliable detection of metal objects even under the strong electromagnetic interference generated during the operation of welding equipment.

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, the smallest size in this line, good for tight spaces in spot welding
• Length: 45 mm, a compact housing, convenient where mounting space around the resistance-welding machine is limited
• Detection range: 2 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, a PTFE layer on the brass housing reduces weld spatter sticking to the sensor's surface
• Sensor face material: PTFE, the PTFE coating on the sensing face makes cleaning the station easier without risking damage to the sensor
• Mounting: Non-flush mounting, non-flush mounting provides a longer detection range when adequate mounting space is available
• Switching function: normally open (NO), the NO function simplifies integration with most existing resistance-welding machine control systems
• Output type: NPN, the NPN output type works well with the typical PLC controller inputs on resistance-welding lines
• Connection: with a 2 m cable, a cable resistant to the vibration and frequent movement typical of welding robots
• 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, a stable output signal even in the immediate vicinity of the strong electromagnetic fields present during welding
• Catalog number: W1CN-M0802N-O3U2

Applications

• It supports the operation of smart welding lines and smart welding stations integrated with higher-level control systems.
• It is used within the Industry 4.0 concept in welding and resistance welding, where sensor data feeds into production monitoring systems.
• It supports the robotization of welding processes and the robotization of resistance-welding processes, increasing line repeatability and throughput.
• It is used in production automation and production robotization at plants where welding and resistance welding are a key process step.
• The sensor is a common choice among industrial welding sensors and inductive sensors for welding, mounted directly at the workstation.

Benefits/Features

• It can be used as a welding machine sensor resistant to interference and a resistance welding machine sensor resistant to electromagnetic interference.
• It maintains signal stability as a welding sensor resistant to electromagnetic interference, reducing the number of false detections.
• Stable operation of the inductive sensor in the welding environment and resistance to electromagnetic interference during welding are key features of this model.
• A robust, fully enclosed construction and high-quality housing materials ensure a long service life under continuous-duty cycles.
• The construction's resistance to weld spatter keeps the sensor working reliably even in direct contact with hot metal particles.

When to choose this model
