Inductive sensor M8 metal face 45 mm cable 2m PNP NC Sn = 1 mm NF

The NMF08004-NF full-metal inductive sensor provides reliable aluminium detection while maintaining the full, rated operating range.

Thanks to the small diameter of M8 sensors, they can be installed in hard-to-reach locations. The short Ø8 x 45 mm length allows installation in shallow working spaces of machines and industrial equipment.

Technical specification:

• Diameter: M8, broad compatibility with mounting brackets eases integration with machines
• Length: 45 mm, versatile dimensions for most industrial automation applications
• Detection range: 1 mm, wear resistance thanks to the non-contact metal detection method
• Detected materials: Aluminium and other non-ferrous metals (steel ignored), detection focused on the actual aluminium part, not on individual filings or chips generated during machining
• Correction factor K: K = 1 for aluminium (full rated sensing range), the actual sensing range allows the model to be selected based on the actual distance to the aluminium workpiece
• Housing: Threaded, allows precise positioning of the sensor during installation
• Housing material: Stainless steel, long sensor lifespan even under intensive use
• Sensor face material: Stainless steel, dimensional stability under dynamic load conditions
• Mounting: Flush mounting, limited lateral detection field increases operating stability
• Switching function: NC, used in safety functions and operational monitoring
• Cable length: 2 m, the cable ensures a highly reliable connection in industrial conditions
• Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, widely used power supply in control systems

Applications

• Automotive assembly lines – The NF aluminium detector enables position control of aluminium parts on automotive assembly lines.
• Aluminium wheel rims – The inductive sensor for aluminium is used on aluminium wheel rim production lines to check the presence and position of the part.
• Anodizing and surface treatment – Used to check the position of aluminium profiles on anodizing and surface treatment lines.
• Inspection before pressing – Applications of the NF sensor include confirming the presence of the actual aluminium part before starting the next pressing stage.
• Robotization of aluminium processes – The NF inductive sensor supports the robotization of aluminium processes, providing the automation system with information about the presence or position of the part.

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.
• Part presence sensor – can check the presence of an aluminium part at a specific location without having to react to stray material particles.
• Operating selectivity – the ability to disregard individual filings and chips allows operation to be focused on the actual aluminium workpiece.
• Range without additional correction for aluminium – the ability to use the rated range makes it easier to select the solution for a specific application.
• 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 inspecting parts before welding – it is worth choosing this model when the automation system needs to confirm the correct position of an aluminium component.
• When aluminium detection must use the full rated range – K = 1 makes it easier to select the appropriate variant for the required distance to the workpiece.
• For applications with aluminium after machining – the model can be used to check the presence of the actual component in an environment where machining residue is present.
• When you need a single solution for various aluminium processes – the model can be used for cutting, stamping, welding, resistance welding, assembly and transport of aluminium parts.
