Contrinex’s Weld-Immune inductive proximity sensors differentiate themselves from competitor products with three unique features, enabling them to offer the best performance and longevity, whilst being able to withstand high-intensity magnetic fields.
CHIP IMMUNITY🍟
As shown in the video clip, Contrinex’s ‘Chip-Immunity’ enables the sensor to continue to work reliably even when its front face has collected weld-spatter.
IMPACT & ABRASION RESISTANCE🔨
The majority of Contrinex’s Weld-immune sensors are also part of their robust EXTREME 700 Series, which offer exceptional robustness and long sensing distances. They feature a housing machined from a single piece of stainless steel with a thick front face which provides extraordinary abrasion resistance. The sensor’s unique technology gives it unmatched abilities to resist shock and impact damage – This is typically demonstrated by showing a sensor survive being used to hammer nails into a wooden block.
Another benefit of the 700 series sensors is true Factor 1 sensing, which can sense steel and aluminium targets equally effectively at up to 8mm.
ACTIVSTONE® CERAMIC COATING🍵
Whilst competitors might offer PTFE coating on their inductive sensors for welding applications, Contrinex’s latest innovation is to offer a high-performance ceramic coating. The ACTIVSTONE® coating provides high levels of durability from both heat and abrasion. It reduces the accumulation of weld-spatter and can withstand cleaning with wire brushes. The video shows how the bracket and the half of the sensor coated with ACTIVSTONE® is completely free from the accumulation of weld-spatter.
Custom-designed accessories, including fixing nuts and mounting brackets, are also available with the ACTIVSTONE®-coating. Heavy-duty PUR cables and optional high-temperature-rated spatter-resistant shrouds to prevent cable damage are also available to provide robust sensor systems.
Combining exceptional durability in harsh environments with extended working life, Contrinex’s enhanced Weld-Immune sensor range is a highly affordable, risk-free option for systems integrators and equipment designers in diverse industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics and white goods.
