Special features give these sensors an almost indefinite life of precise performance

SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR CANMAKING

Monitoring and controlling cans on a production line presents particular challenges which all - purpose sensors are not designed to meet. For example, the wide sensing fields of generic sensors makes them liable to ‘lock on’ to adjacent metal when they are flush mounted on a steel deck or fitted between close side - bar guides. Sencon sensors have carefully shaped sensing fields to prevent pre - loading.

The proven quality, accuracy, and ruggedness of Sencon’s canline sensors remains unmatched. Special features give these sensors an almost indefinite life of precise performance, even in the harsh environment of a canmaking plant. Their stainless steel construction includes internal anti-crush columns, metal conduit hub, metal cable connector and full encapsulation. Sensing fields are specially designed to be flat and parallel to the sensor face to prevent locking on to the guide rails or the conveyor deck.

UNIQUE FEATURES OF SENCON CAN LINE SENSORS

  • Sensing fields specially optimized for canmaking
  • Internally designed for maximum electronic stability
  • Immunity from static discharge
  • Maximum mechanical crush resistance
  • Supplied complete with T-Bolts, Brackets, and Adjustment Tool

TAILORED SENSING FIELDS

Many generic sensors have twin lobes that leave a blind spot in the middle so they do not always see individual cans. The specially shaped sensing fields of Sencon sensors prevent these blind spots.

WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

Compact and slimline designs enable them to be placed in a wide variety of locations on canmaking lines.

ADVANCED ELECTRONIC STABILITY

The latest electronic components also help to ensure optimum reliability and flexibility. These include:

  • overload protection
  • short circuit protection
  • reverse polarity protection
  • thermal stabilization

ROBUST AND LONG LASTING

The encapsulation and casing of Sencon sensors is specially made to cope with the harsh canmaking environment.

EASY CABLING OPTIONS

For easier maintenance, fixed conduit or quick disconnect cables can now can now be used on the same stainless steel hub design.
