FAQ

 

 

Q: What is the difference between shielded (flush) and unshielded (non-flush) inductive sensors?

A: Shielded sensors feature a metal ring around the active face, directing the electromagnetic field forward. This allows them to be embedded flush into metal mountings without false triggering, though with a slightly shorter sensing range. Unshielded sensors lack this shielding, providing a wider, longer sensing range but requiring a metal-free clearance zone around the tip.

Q: Are your sensors immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby variable frequency drives (VFDs)?

A: Yes. All inductive and photoelectric units incorporate internal shielding and filters compliant with IEC 60947-5-2 EMC standards, preventing false switching when installed near VFD cables or servo motors.

Q: Can these sensors operate directly in harsh cutting fluids or machine coolants?

A: Sensors utilizing 304/316L stainless steel housings and IP68/IP69K ratings withstand continuous immersion in water-glycol, synthetic, and oil-based machining coolants without housing degradation.

Q: What output configurations are available for PLC integration?

A: Units are available in standard 3-wire DC (NPN or PNP with Normally Open or Normally Closed configurations) as well as 4-wire complementary outputs and IO-Link smart sensor variants.

Q: What is the typical lead time for standard versus customized sensor orders?

A: Standard catalog items ship within 3 to 5 business days. Custom cable configurations, specialized housings, or unique electrical parameters typically require 15 to 25 business days for production and calibration.

Q: Do you provide 3D CAD models and electrical wiring diagrams for engineering integration?

A: Yes. STEP files, dimensioned technical drawings, and wiring schematics are available for download across all product series to support mechanical and electrical design workflows.
