The new series of Full Inox Miniature inductive sensors from Contrinex are the smallest self-contained inductive sensors on the market. Available in sizes M5 and Ø 4 mm as both PNP and NPN types, they are ideal for use wherever space is scarce and operating conditions are harsh. Thanks to a high-quality ASIC with integral IO-Link interface, all PNP-types in this series satisfy the requirements of smart factories. Full Inox Miniature sensors have excellent temperature stability from -25&d …

Chip Immune Application: Machines for turning, milling, drilling or grinding metal will inevitably generate abrasion debris. For inductive sensors, which by their nature detect metal objects, this debris presents a difficult challenge. When sensors are covered with lubricant containing metal chips, there is a risk that they will supply incorrect signals to the control system. For these applications, sensor specialist Contrinex now offers its Chip-Immune series of inductive sensors in M12, M18 o …

The Full Inox BASIC family closes the gap for applications that cannot dispense with a full-metal housing, but still need a cost-effective solution. The BASIC line combines the robustness and long life of the Full Inox family with the sensor properties of standard technology to offer a cost-effective entry into the world of the full-metal sensors. -Mechanically and chemically extremely robust -High quality ASIC sensor -Factor 1 on steel and aluminum -Corrosion resistant -IP68 and IP69K -Excelle …

Summary: A plastics manufacturer tests batches of control knobs for in-car audio systems before shipment to automotive assembly plants; each knob contains a small metal washer that occasionally becomes dislodged. A custom-built testing machine tests a tray of 70 knobs in a single cycle; Contrinex's long-distance inductive sensors, positioned directly below the knobs, confirm the presence of a washer in each assembly. Customer Values: Reliable, repeatable testing of complete trays of …
