This first in a series of articles will address the basic topics of how to properly select, install and protect inductive proximity sensors within tooling. Hundreds, if not thousands, of metalforming companies, tool-makers and pressroom personnel have tried and failed to properly implement electronic sensors within their dies. The sensors are consequently deemed by many to be ineffective, too delicate, impossible to properly align with a target, unable to survive the harsh environments within a die, etc. But in great measure, these failures are due to simple misunderstandings regarding sensor location, mounting and protection. We must correct these misunderstandings to ensure ideal sensor performance.
