Industrial Applications

1. Robotic Welding Cell Position Verification

In automated robotic welding stations, flying spatter can coat standard sensors and cause false readings. The spatter-resistant coating on this sensor prevents weld slag accumulation, ensuring accurate and continuous confirmation of the workpiece's position within a 7mm range.

Problem Solved

Prevents sensor failure and false triggering caused by molten weld spatter accumulation on the sensor face.

2. Metal Stamping Press End-of-Travel Detection

Uses the 7mm extended sensing distance and 250Hz response frequency to reliably detect the precise position of rapid-moving metal dies or stamped parts without risking physical collision with the sensor head.

Problem Solved

Avoids mechanical wear and tear on limit switches by providing contactless detection in heavy-vibration environments.

3. Conveyor Line Material Tracking

Installed along metal-based conveyor systems to detect the presence of iron pallets or components. The DC 2-wire configuration simplifies wiring, while the 12-24 VDC operating range easily integrates into standard PLC inputs.

Problem Solved

Streamlines installation wiring and reliably detects metallic objects in dust-heavy automated transfer lines.
