Tough little beggars Welding can be really hard on proximity sensors with sheet metal panels hitting the switches and molten metal splashing on all surfaces. But indication is still needed even in the toughest environments, so tough sensors are the answer. Proven already in the harshest of plants the ifm electronic R series inductive sensor range has been enhanced with the addition of the M8 size. With the housing made completely of stainless steel, the R series feature an extremely robust sensing face able to take a hammering. Where weld spatter is concerned, users of the first versions have expressed amazement at the ‘wipe clean’ feature of the coating. Weld spatter simply wipes off, so the sensors can be kept free of fouling which might damage the product. The coating can be baked onto the housings at high temperatures, thus ensuring its remarkable properties, because the sensing face is steel. Plastic sensors simply cannot offer such a good weld spatter resistance. The perfect complement to these robust sensors is offered with the EVW range of M12 connectors from ifm electronic, which feature the same non-stick coating on the coupling nut. The new R series M8, the IER200, provides a sensing range of 2mm flush mounted, with all-round visibility of the output LED. Usefully there is also a green LED for power on or ready status indication. For further information on Full metal housing for heavy duty
