Flat Belt End Conveyor Sensors

Detects aluminium and steel ends while being carried on a flat belt conveyor

With a fast response time of <1 millisecond, the primary use for these sensors is for die protection in high speed press conveyor systems, but they are also used for part tracking, inspection system triggering and jam detection. Special circuitry and tuning enables the end to be detected but not the steel bed beneath the conveyor belt.

  • Narrow sensing field to reduce effect of side metal
  • Senses ends not the conveyor belt
  • Rugged stainless steel construction
  • Slim 'pancake' style housing
  • The use of inductive sensing technology eliminates the need for maintenance.

Due to continual product development, actual specifications may change. E&OE

Mostly used for die protection in high speed press conveyor systems

POSITIVE END DETECTION

Special circuitry and tuning enables the end to be detected but not the steel bed beneath the conveyor belt. A specially tailored narrow sensing field also reduces the effect of side metal.

ROBUST DESIGN

Slim ‘pancake’ style housing and rugged stainless steel construction give these sensors a long life and great reliability.

MAINTENANCE FREE

The use of inductive sensing technology eliminates the need for maintenance.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

The 9-360-51SS and 11R-360-51SS sensors can also be used for part tracking, inspection system triggering and jam detection.

NOTE: For die protection and in circumstances where ends are closely spaced, the sensor should be mounted off the center line to prevent ends bridging the sensing field.
