Long-distance Metal Sensing

June 1, 2005
The Uprox+ sensor line features a newly patented multicoil system that replaces the wound coil found in conventional ferrite core inductive sensors, resulting in sensing distances up to 250 percent higher and the flexibility to incorporate the technology in a variety of housing designs, says the vendor.

Uprox+ sensors are capable of precisely detecting materials such as iron steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum and brass. The sensors feature an integrated predamping protection function to reduce the metal-free mounting area in applications. This allows traditionally flush mounted sensors to be recessed by half a turn for increased mechanical protection. Non-flush mounted sensors may be embedded in metal up to the outer edge of the thread on barrel style sensors and on all four sides of rectangular style sensors, causing only a slight reduction in sensing distances.
