Pepperl+Fuchs X-Series Pile Driver Extended Range Inductive Sensors are available in 12 mm, 18 mm and 30 mm diameters to deliver sensing ranges of 5 mm, 10 mm or 15 mm – up to 2.5 times longer range than traditional inductive sensors. Stainless steel housings deliver durability more than 20 times that of brass and plastic housings, according to the company. The sensors’ extended sensing field enables reliable detection of irregularly shaped contours, and increased sensor-to-target distances help eliminate contact-related scuffing of surfaces. Weld-immune models are capable of providing long range part detection with full immunity to ac and dc weld fields, and repelling weld splatter. X-Series Pile Driver’s can detect all metals. Unlike traditional inductive sensors that are limited to IP67/68 protection, X-Series Pile Driver sensors are IP69k-rated to withstand high pressure washdown cleaning.
