SlagMaster™ Coated High Temperature Sensors
Balluff SlagMaster™ coated high temperature sensors combine thermal barrier protection and weld spatter resistance with the inherent benefits of an extended temperature range sensor.
These new products have the ability to survive in extremely hot, hostile manufacturing applications where standard sensors “can’t handle the heat”.
Standard inductive sensors are typically rated to +70°C. These high temperature sensors are rated up to +120°C, and also have the added thermal barrier of Balluff’s exclusive SlagMaster™ coating on their faces. This provides extra protection, extending the sensor’s life and reducing production downtime.

High Ambient Temperature Environments
Although the name SlagMaster™ is associated with high heat welding environments, other high heat applications exist, such as: glass making, metal forging, and aluminum casting operations. High temperature rated sensors with SlagMaster™ coated faces are the perfect fit for these applications. The SlagMaster™ coating provides an extra heat barrier for the sensor face and cable-out models have silicone cable jackets that also withstand extreme heat.
High Intermittent Heat:
Sensors In Proximity To Weld Processes
Sensors must often be placed dangerously close to sub-components being joined in a welding cell – sometimes right on top of where welding occurs. If the sensor is not properly gapped to take full advantage of its rated sensing range or given room to allow ambient air to circulate, intense heat generated by the welder can be directly transferred to the sensor face and the oscillating coil. The results are predictable – premature sensor failure, unplanned down time, and maintenance.
In extra hot applications, protective bunkering ensures an added measure of thermal protection and impact resistance to an already robust, high temperature-rated sensor.
