Weld nut sensors

Monday, 27 April, 2009 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd


Turck has introduced magnetic-inductive sensors to detect weld nuts.

They use signal attenuation to detect ferromagnetic components such as nuts, bushings and spacer sleeves and ensure they are present before robotic welding occurs — with no additional software or electronics required.

The sensors are integrated into existing production lines, replacing traditional location bolts.

They are available in two versions with different signal intensities and diameters to adapt to a wide variety of operating environments and material characteristics. The sensors also feature a rugged IP67 chrome-plated brass housing that protects internal components from harsh welding zone conditions and temperature compensation to withstand the thermal changes common in welding.
