Pepprel+Fuchs NBB Cylindrical Sensors

Pepperl+Fuchs is a renowned manufacturer of industrial sensors and automation products. The NBB series includes cylindrical inductive sensors that are commonly used in industry to detect metal objects without external contact. Below, we will take a closer look at Pepperl+Fuchs NBB cylindrical sensors.

Understanding NBB Cylindrical Sensors

Cylindrical inductive sensors NBB from Pepperl+Fuchs are an exciting technology that simplifies metal detection in industrial environments. Its reliable non-contact operation, adjustable actuation range, and rugged design make it a valuable tool for improving automation processes. Whether you work in manufacturing, robotics, or any other industry that requires accurate metal detection, this sensor may be the solution you've been looking for.

NBB sensors work by generating an electromagnetic field around their active surface. When a metal object enters this field, it causes a change in its properties. The sensor's internal circuitry detects this change and triggers a response - this could be anything from turning on a conveyor belt to stopping a robotic arm and much more.
