Metal Fabrication & Stamping

Metal fabrication environments combine magnetic workpieces, cutting oils, fine metal chips, and electromagnetic noise from large pressing and welding equipment. Standard inductive sensors saturate or false-trigger in these conditions. The Pantron and EGE product ranges include sensors specifically engineered for high-temperature, chip-laden, and magnetically noisy environments.

Applications & Use Cases

EGE Inductive Proximity EGE Inductive Proximity
01
Part presence in stamping die

EGE inductive proximity switches confirm blank and part presence in stamping dies before press actuation, preventing costly tooling damage from air strokes.

Pantron ISM Series Pantron ISM Series
02
Part ejection confirmation on transfer presses

Pantron ISM photoelectric multiplexer and Pantron photoelectric sensors confirm that each formed part has been ejected from the die cavity before the press closes, catching misfed blanks.

di-soric Application Sensors di-soric Application Sensors
03
Robot gripper part confirmation on laser cells

di-soric application-specific sensors confirm that the robot gripper is carrying a part before the laser cell door closes, preventing empty fixture cycles.

Pantron ILD-1000 Pantron ILD-1000
04
Monitor welding arc for quality control

Pantron welding arc sensors detect intensive, non-uniform light such as arc welding and laser processing on metallic parts.

EGE Flow Sensors EGE Flow Sensors
05
Coolant flow to CNC spindle bearings

EGE flow sensors monitor high-pressure cutting fluid supply to CNC spindle bearings, triggering spindle shutdown if flow is interrupted and preventing bearing seizure.

Fuchs Fume Extraction Fuchs Fume Extraction
06
Fume extraction on plasma and laser cutting tables

Fuchs fume extraction systems capture metal oxide particulate at cutting table level, meeting regulatory air quality requirements and protecting workers from hexavalent chromium and other hazardous fumes.

Schmersal Safety Schmersal Safety
07
Safety fencing on automated press cells

Schmersal safety system solutions provide access guarding for robot-tended press cells with process-integrated safety logic and RFID-coded interlocking.
