Inductive proximity switch for welding
all metals
Proximity sensors from the ifm electronic 'efector m' series now deal with all the problems associated with welding: providing consistent measurements and immunity to spatter and interference
A new range of proximity sensors from the ifm electronic efector m series can now deal with all the problems associated with welding * Firstly, the sensing range is greater to prevent mechanical damage and the new range from ifm electronic will sense the same distance whatever the metal, so no more problems with aluminium

A pump cavitation sensor at last!
The ifm electronic pump diagnostic pressure sensor detects cavitation, trapped air and blockages, just what you have been waiting for!
* Secondly, they are PTFE-coated and the sensing face is made from a highly durable thermoset to cope with weld splatter.
* Thirdly, the circuits are hardened against the interference from the electromagnetic fields.
Standard cylindrical sizes are available in M12, M18 and M30.
The enhanced sensing distance means the M12 will sense 8mm even on non-ferrous targets.
Also available is a compact rectangular unit, sensing up to 35mm in any one of five directions.
