Inductive
Sensors
The weld-immune proximity
switches are used for work-
piece positioning in welding
areas.
The problem with standard
inductive proximity switches
is that the strong magnetic
fields generated by the
welding current influences
the sensor's oscillator/coil
system. This can lead to
false switching even when
no target is present.
The weld-immune proximity
switches can be mounted
in the direct vicinity of
welding tongs or electrodes,
since welding current of
up to 25 kA do not affect the
switching function of the
proximity switch.
The mechanical insensitivity
to hot weld splatter is
ensured by an active surface
made of Teflon and by
jacketing the housing with
Teflon. This means no burn-
through of the sensing
surface or adhering of weld
beads on the sensor
housing.
