Inductive Proximity Sensors

In the ever expanding world of automation, control system technology is becoming more complex. Xensor Inductive Proximity Sensors offer state-of-the-art high switching accuracy and uncompromised reliability.

Watertight, dust-proof, impervious to oil, yet sensitive to all metals they operate on the Eddy Current principle. The sensing head emits an alternating radio frequency field generated by a solid state oscillator.

As the target approaches eddy currents draw greater power from the oscillator, at a specified switching distance abruptly nullifying the oscillation triggering the NC or NO switch. Available for flush or non-flush mounting with shielded or un-shielded cases and a variety of mounting thread sizes.

Xensor Capacitive Sensors Go/no-go switching, highly accurate, non-contact, proximity actuated devices can detect both metal and non-metallic objects in a variety of applications.

The sensitivity of the sensor is affected by the dielectric constant of the target material being detected. Higher dielectric constants, like those measured during liquid level sensing or product filling operations, make them ideal for these applications.

They can be configured with a potentiometer giving you the ability to fine tune the sensor with your application and with various shielding and EMC resistance to give you greater flexibility when installing the unit.

A manufacturer of locking cylinders for core pulls on injection molds and die casting came to us with a problem during injection, Changes from pressure and temperature was causing core length to decrease and the resulting core face position to be backed up from the desired position.

The core face backup during injection could be as much as .020″ or greater depending on mold geometry. Attempting to compensate for compression and thermal effects manually with trials and tweaking was time intensive and costly.

They wanted to develop a system that would preload the core to eliminate the backup and needed to retrofit a sensor to help measure the position of the core in an application that would not have any power to the sensor.

We developed a design focused solution that allowed them to develop a side action system specifically designed to preload the core with the injection force and then lock it in place.
