Presence Check of Nails in Pallet Nail Machines by Inductive Ring Sensors
In the manufacture of wooden pallets, automatic nailing machines are used to join the individual wooden parts. The nails required for the process are conveyed with compressed air through plastic hoses and then shot into the wood. Inductive ring sensors are installed at the ends of each hose to check that a nail has been shot through each hose and that the nail connection has been established correctly. Thanks to the separable housing, the sensor can be mounted at different points on the hose and thus individually adapted to the machine.
Inductive Ring Sensors
Inductive ring sensors enable precise and reliable detection of small metal parts from a minimum size of 2.5 mm in feed hoses. The sensors can be quickly and flexibly mounted and removed from the hose thanks to the separable housing.
