Modern welding automation demands sensors that can withstand heat, spatter, and continuous mechanical stress — without compromise. The new Miniature Flat Pack sensor with PTFE protective tubing delivers a compact, robust solution designed for the harshest industrial welding environments.
PTFE Tubing: Shielding What Matters Most
One of the standout features of this sensor is its PTFE protective tubing, which safeguards connection points from weld spatter, abrasion, and extreme temperatures. This protection is particularly valuable in robotic welding cells, where movement and exposure to harsh conditions can quickly degrade conventional cabling. High-flex connectivity options, available in cable or pigtail versions, include illuminated LED connectors for easy status monitoring and simplified maintenance.
ACTIVSTONE® Coating: Anti-Spatter Durability
While the PTFE tubing protects the connections, the sensor’s ACTIVSTONE®ceramic coating shields the housing from spatter accumulation and mechanical wear. This non-stick, abrasion-proof layer ensures:
- Reduced spatter buildup and easier routine cleaning
- Resistance to aggressive cleaning methods such as wire brushing or dry-ice blasting
- High thermal stability and extended sensor life
- Outstanding impact and mechanical robustness without cracking or peeling
Together, PTFE tubing and ACTIVSTONE® coating deliver a double layer of protection, maximizing uptime and reducing maintenance in MIG, MAG, and spot-welding applications.
Compact, Robust, and Production-Ready
Housed in a one-piece stainless-steel body with a 2 mm sensing distance, this Miniature Flat Pack sensor integrates easily into confined spaces while delivering exceptional durability. The combination of compact design, PTFE tubing, and ACTIVSTONE® anti-spatter protection ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance — even in the most demanding welding processes.
Engineers and system integrators can now deploy sensors that resist harsh conditions, minimize maintenance, and maintain continuous production flow, all in a compact, high-performance package.
