Norstat now offers a Class III Fail-Safe Inductive Sensor for the non-contact, safe detection of metal objects.
PI-Safe sensors can generally be installed in applications that require a non-contact sensor for the safe detection of metal objects. Applications include reliable positioning on rotary indexing tables and machine tools, safe triggering of slow travel as well as switching off at an end position for presses, gantry robots or actuators. Wear-free operation guarantees a longer life span and low maintenance costs.
The PI-Safe is available in a variety of models including M12, M18 and M30 non-flush mounted versions as well as M18 ( 70mm ) ( 86.5mm ) and M30 flush mounted versions. Construction is stainless steel for the body and PBT for the heads. Connection is by M12 4 pole connector with an output of 2 x OSSD, a current rating of 100 mA and a DC PNP voltage type. These robust sensors are protection class III and carry a protection rating of IP 65 & IP 67 and can operate in temperatures from -25°C to +70°C.
