Presence Check of Steel Sheets on Roller Conveyors by Inductive Sensors with Increased Switching Distances

In the steel industry, the presence of steel plates before and after rolling or punching processes must be checked. For this purpose, the sheets are transported on roller conveyors and reliably detected at their outlet by an inductive sensor with increased switching distance. Height fluctuations of the sheet are compensated by the high switching distance. The sensor with integrated error indicator is ideal for harsh industrial environments thanks to its rugged M18 enclosure and IP67 degree of protection and can be mounted in a few simple steps.
