TURCK has announced a
new line of WeldGuard Sensors. In many resistance
welding applications, particularly automotive body and assembly, the conditions are
extremely harsh. Sensors can fail due to weld slag, weld
dust, high heat and physical damage. TURCK has developed a front face material proven
through independent lab tests to last as much as 13 or
more times longer than standard sensor face material sensors. Through very
rigid test criteria, TURCK sensors, as well as
competitive sensors, were tested to the point of
failure. TURCK's WeldGuard sensors performed better than
all others tested by at least a factor of 10.
No competitive sensor tested has a front face material
that lasts as long as WeldGuard. This includes thermoset,
thermoplastic and stainless steel. It is available in AC/DC ferrite core
with WFI, DC U-prox ®, and extended range ferrite core
with 2 and 3-wire DC. The barrel material is either stainless steel or teflon
coated and is available in 8, 12, 18 and 30 mm barrels
and cube style CA40 (40 mm cube). It is also available as embeddable or
non-embeddable sensing in most housings.
