Contrinex Weld Spatter-Resistant Weld-Immune Sensors and Accessories
Contrinex’s Weld-immune sensors have had an exceptional reputation for performance for a long time, but Contrinex has continued to develop and expand their offering for welding applications. Their weld-spatter resistant sensors and accessories are specifically designed to enhance efficiency and quality control in challenging welding environments. These advanced solutions ensure precise part positioning while significantly reducing defects and equipment damage.
A typical application is their use to ensure components are accurately positioned. By eliminating misalignments and undetected faulty assemblies, manufacturers can drastically reduce costly downstream scrap and rework.
Contrinex’s innovative ACTIVSTONE™ ceramic coating option extends the sensor’s lifespan and minimises maintenance requirements in areas exposed to weld-spatter, leading to lower operational costs.
The example application shown in the video clip is the weld assembly of automotive chassis rails. Precision and reliability are essential, and improvements in part positioning accurately can help manufacturers streamline production, reduce downtime, and ensure consistent, high-quality output. Therefore, Contrinex’s weld-immune inductives provide greater efficiency, improved workflow, and higher customer satisfaction.
The spatter-resistant weld-immune sensors and accessories enable Contrinex’s cutting-edge sensor and accessory technology to be used in very challenging welding environments. Manufacturers can optimise their welding performance and seek greater precision, to enhance product quality, and maintain a competitive edge in the evolving automotive landscape.
PLUS Automation will help you #MakeSenseofSensors to solve applications, improve machine performance and reliability, and reduce costs using Contrinex’s exceptional Inductive, Photoelectric, Ultrasonic, RFID & Machine Safety sensors.
