Weld Immune Factor 1+ Sensors….a plus for your application

These sensors were originally designed with welding applications specifically in mind. They are immune to magnetic DC and AC fields up to strength of 100KA/m. which makes them ideal for use in applications where sensors encounter high levels of magnetic interference from sources such as transformers, motors, drives, or welders. Factor 1 sensors incorporate a Balluff developed multi-coil design that enables them to sense both ferrous and non-ferrous metals at same distance. The PTFE coating helps protect the sensor from weld slag and weld flash.
Beyond their enhanced application flexibility, Balluff Factor 1 + sensors also provide the opportunity to standardize on a smaller number of sensor designs, which can lower supply chain and tool crib stocking costs, especially for welding operations and where detection of metals in addition to mild steel such as aluminum are required. Maintenance costs and time are further reduced by the ability to quickly position the sensor well away from the target minimizing any possibility of impact damage.
