For high impact welding applications

Balluff’s new BunkerProx® sensor represents a new concept in inductive sensor protection. Intended for the most rugged and physically abusive welding and metalworking applications, BunkerProx incorporates a robust design that can take the abuse of heavy part loading and welding operations.

The BunkerProx Advantages:

• Thick metal housing protects sensor against mechanical damage
• Unique one piece connector/body eliminates connector failures 
• Thick sensor walls provide intermittent heat sink, protecting internal electronics
• Frontal-impact deflection ring protects face from repeated impact
• Ceramic face resists weld spatter burn-through up to 2200°F
• Weld spatter-resistant coating repels weld spatter build up
• Weld Field Immune electronics provide error free operation

Application example: 

BunkerProx in an abusive weld cell lasted 10 times longer than previous weld sensor

The BunkerProx inductive sensor is available in the following version: 

Ordering code	Output	Size	Connector type	Sensing Range
BES03MY	PNP, NO	M18	M12, 4-pin	4 mm
