Tube Detection in Seamless Tube Mill Handling Areas Using Inductive Proximity Switches
Inductive Proximity Switch
Challenges
Standard proximity switches failed to detect tubes reliably due to bending, movement, andmetal dust accumulation causing false signals.
Solution
- The inductive proximity switch with 100 mm was used.
- Assured sensing range increased to 81 mm for better detection of displaced tubes.
- Wider sensing surface reduces dust sensitivity
- Allows inclined mounting for cleaner operation.
- Ensures stable performance even in dusty, dynamic environments.
Specifications
- Rated operating distance (Sn) 100 mm
- Ambient temperature -25 … +100 °C
- Protection class IP 67
