Magnetic-inductive sensors deliver robust, reliable detection of weld nuts in harsh automotive environments.
These sensors deliver an alternative to
optical or vision-based systems, which can often malfunction due to
residue, such as dirt and weld-splatter, and frequently changing
lighting conditions in welding zones. The TURCK weld nut sensor can be
mechanically protected with a customer-supplied stainless steel sleeve,
which also acts as a guide to keep the weld nut in place. Weld
nut sensors are easily programmed to differentiate between the nut and
the sheet metal on which it is located, by using a teach adapter or by
simply shorting the leads.
