Contrinex's weld-immune💥 Inductive sensors keep the car 🚗 industry running🏃‍♂️ - ‘Robust’ ‘700’ series🔨 inductives with ceramic coating now available. - Weld.PLUSAx.co.uk

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES

• Shock & impact resistant (aka hammer proof🔨)

• High immunity to magnetic interference, in particular medium-freq. up to 15kA

• ACTIVSTONE™ coating offers the highest level of weld spatter resistance

• One-piece V2A/AISI 303 stainless steel body

• IO-Link interface

• Factor 1 on steel & aluminium. 

NEW - Contrinex’s weld-Immune range of inductive sensors now includes ceramic-coated versions.

In addition to mechanical shock resistance and immunity to the magnetic fields of welding equipment, the new sensors are characterised by a robust, weld spatter-resistant coating. This coating increases the service life of sensors, facilitates cleaning and helps to reduce machine downtime.

Weld-Immune inductive sensors from Contrinex with ACTIVSTONE™ coating offer the highest level of weld spatter resistance. The high-performance ceramic material forms a durable, non-stick coating on all external surfaces of the sensor, including the fixing nuts. The coating material prevents weld spatter accumulation, making slag removal much easier and reducing maintenance costs. As a sensor coating, it provides excellent, long-term protection in spot, MIG and MAG applications. 

Inductive sensors in welding applications need protection from magnetic fields, generated by the welding equipment which can cause false triggering. Weld-Immune sensors from Contrinex’s FullInox and Classics technology families meet this challenge with special interference suppression technology. These sensors offer optimum detection sensitivity combined with immunity to magnetic interference, in particular from medium-frequency fields (current up to 15kA), making them ideal for automated welding cells in the automotive industry and applications with similar magnetic fields. 

Full Inox sensors provide a long service life in the most demanding welding environments because their sealed, one-piece V2A/AISI 303 stainless steel housings provide excellent mechanical and chemical resistance to shocks, vibration and abrasion. If impacts occur, theCondet® technology ensures reliable switching, even when damage to the ferrite is severe.

The sensors are also unaffected by weld spatter, metal dust or chips and offer long sensing distances with factor 1 on steel & aluminium. ACTIVSTONE™ coated mounting brackets are also available.
