Inductive Ring Sensors
Unlocking New Possibilities

Main Features

Separable housing
Cable outlet in hose direction
Flexible soft binder on the sensor
Switching status indicator visible all the way around

The inductive ring sensors enable precise and reliable detection of small metal parts in feed hoses. The correction factor 1 ensures reliable detection of all metal objects from a size of 2 mm. Thanks to the robust soft binder, the sensor can be fixed securely even in challenging environments with vibrations or compressed air.

Separable Housing

Quick and flexible installation and removal of the sensor on the hose
Minimize machine downtime when replacing hoses and during repairs
Detection of metal objects anywhere in the active field
Coil is divided into two parts

Cable Outlet in Hose Direction

Cable is routed parallel to the hose
Sensor is particularly suitable for confined spaces
No obstruction of the system design due to the cable routing of the sensor
No kinks in the cable

Flexible Soft Binder on the Sensor

Easy and secure mounting on different hose sizes
Stable fixing in vibrating environments, such as vibrating spiral conveyors or compressed air conveyors
Can be used multiple times, as non-destructive opening is possible, additional loss protection
No tapering of the hose possible

Switching Status Indicator Visible All the Way Around

Completely visible LED display
Switching operation can be detected regardless of the installation position
Color display:
- Blue: power supply indicator
- Yellow: switching operation
- Red: error

Other Advantages of Inductive Ring Sensors

Applications with Limited Space Availability

Thanks to the compact format and integrated weproTec technology, several sensors can be installed directly next to each other in the tightest of spaces without interfering with each other.

Plug and Play

Inductive ring sensors can be easily installed via Plug & Play and quickly put into operation without prior adjustment.

Easy-to-Use Controls

Thanks to the potentiometer and IO-Link interface, inductive ring sensors offer flexible operating options for reliably reading out and processing parameters and process data.

Correction Factor 1

Thanks to the correction factor 1, inductive ring sensors reliably detect objects made of different non-ferrous metals from a size of 2 mm.

Functional Principle Static

Static ring sensors detect rapidly moving objects or objects that remain constantly inside the ring, e.g. for bottleneck monitoring.

Functional Principle Dynamic

Dynamic ring sensors are used to detect the smallest, fast moving objects, such as ejection control of rivets.

Sectors and Industries which Use Ring Sensors

From reliable presence and bottleneck monitoring of small parts in feed tubes, to precise size differentiation and wire breakage detection, inductive ring sensors offer solutions for a wide range of applications.

Automotive Industry

In the automotive industry, robots combine aluminum body parts with rivets. In automated punch-riveting processes, aluminum or brass objects are transported to the punching device through plastic hoses by compressed air. The correct hose routing is checked before the rivets are automatically mounted. For this purpose, an inductive ring sensor with adjustable sensitivity and correction factor 1 is mounted on the hose with a clamp. This ensures reliable detection of objects of different sizes and alloys.

Assembly and Feeding Technology

In assembly and feeding technology, fasteners such as screws, nuts and rivets are automatically conveyed, sorted and separated by feeding systems. These are supplied to the screw system via feed hoses by compressed air. Inductive ring sensors mounted on the hose detect metal parts as small as 2 mm at high speed. The separable housing enables easy assembly and disassembly. The presence of the parts is visualized by all-round lighting.
