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

The rugged NWI08013 welding inductive sensor is a reliable solution for welding robots, resistance-welding stations, and automated production lines that require precise detection.

Because of its small M8 size, the sensor does not interfere with welding equipment mounted in its immediate vicinity, Ø8 x 45 mm is a compact format that does not restrict the freedom of movement of a welding robot.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M8, a compact diameter that makes mounting on a welding robot arm easier
• Length: 45 mm, a short length that makes mounting easier in densely packed welding stations
• Detection range: 2 mm, stable metal-detection characteristics even close to a resistance-welding machine's electromagnetic field
• Housing: Threaded, a threaded housing allows precise adjustment of the sensor's position relative to the weld point
• 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 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), standard normally-open logic, compatible with the typical PLC controllers used on welding lines
• Output type: PNP, a PNP output that is standard for most new welding automation installations
• 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 typical industrial automation supply voltage, with no need for additional converters
• Electromagnetic interference (EMC) resistance: yes, EMC resistance allows mounting close to a resistance-welding machine's coils and current-carrying cables without signal loss
• Catalog number: W1CN-M0802P-O3U2

Applications

• It supports position control in resistance welding, signaling the machine controller that a part is present in the work zone.
• It is used in welding automation systems and resistance welding automation systems as a feedback element for the PLC controller.
• It is a component of welding process control systems and resistance welding process control systems, confirming the presence and position of parts.
• It is used in automated welding systems and automated resistance welding systems operating continuously.
• It performs well in robotic welding systems and robotic welding lines, where robots operate without constant operator supervision.

Benefits/Features

• As an inductive sensor resistant to electromagnetic interference, it does not generate false triggers during the welding cycle.
• Proven to be resistant to electromagnetic fields, it operates reliably even in the immediate vicinity of the coils and current-carrying cables of a welding machine.
• It is suited to operation in a strong electromagnetic field, typical of resistance welding and arc welding.
• Its proven EMC resistance is valued by integrators building EMC-resistant industrial sensors for welding and resistance-welding applications.
• Thanks to its high resistance, it performs well in environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as those generated by welding machines.

When to choose this model

• When the sensor must operate in an industrial resistance-welding machine exposed to harsh operating conditions.
• If reliable part detection is required in a resistance-welding machine.
• When component detection is needed on an automated welding or resistance-welding line.
• When part-presence monitoring is needed within an automatic welding cycle.
