Die Protection Sensors for Stamping, Metalforming Applications
April 1, 2021
Wintriss Controls Group, a manufacturer of automation, safety and die protection products, offers a line of new generation sensors for protecting stamping and forming press dies. The new line includes broader-range proximity sensors, short and long range diffuse reflective sensors, a distance-settable optical triangulation sensor and an ultra-long infrared through-beam sensor.
"New proximity sensors have four times the range of similarly-sized inductive proximity sensors, in addition to proximity sensors that detect only non-ferrous metals, which is ideal for detecting aluminum or copper parts from the tooling," said a company spokesperson.
New long range diffuse reflective sensors utilize infrared instead of visible light to minimize false actuations caused by oil mist in the sensing field.
The distance-settable optical triangulation sensor is suitable for challenging applications where a part must be detected against objects such as a chute.
"The ultra-long range infrared through-beam sensor developed by Wintriss excels in lubrication intensive environments, enabling reliable, repeatable operation," said the spokesperson.
The new sensors complement Wintriss' full line of general purpose electronic and electromechanical sensors and are IP-67 rated to withstand harsh in-die environments.
The new sensors are also available for purchase in the Wintriss Online Store at wintriss.com/store where die protection controls, connection hardware and sensors are offered, in addition to resource material.
