Die Protection Sensors
Description
A line of new-generation sensors for protecting stamping and forming press dies includes broader-range proximity sensors, short and long-range diffuse reflective sensors, a distance-settable optical triangulation sensor, and an ultra-long infrared through-beam sensor.
The proximity sensors have 4x the range of similarly-sized inductive proximity sensors, in addition to proximity sensors that detect only non-ferrous metals, which is ideal for detecting aluminum or copper parts from the tooling. Long-range diffuse reflective sensors use infrared instead of visible light, to minimize false actuations caused by oil mist in the sensing field. Special Distance-Settable Optical Triangulation Sensor is ideal in challenging applications where a part must be detected against objects such as a chute. Ultra-long-range Infrared through-beam sensor excels in lubrication intensive environments, enabling reliable, repeatable operation.
The sensors complement Wintriss’ full line of general-purpose electronic and electromechanical sensors, are IP-67 rated to withstand harsh in-die environments and are all competitively priced to industry known sources.
