Allen-Bradley 871P VersaCube inductive proximity sensors

The Allen-Bradley 871P VersaCube inductive proximity sensors are 4-wire DC sensors that integrate both standard and specialty features into a redesigned 40 mm rectangular housing suitable for a wide range of general-purpose and welding applications. The VesaCube offers Factor 1 sensing; high IP67, IP68 and IP69K ratings; extended sensing ranges; weld field immunity; slag resistance; complementary outputs; and high-visibility LEDs in the one package.

The VersaCube offers extended range, complementary (NO and NC) outputs and equal sensing distance for all metals. The VersaCube also features a high-visibility status indicator that can be seen from a long distance at 360°.

For demanding applications, the 871P VersaCube can be ordered with ToughCoat, a weld slag-resistant coating on the sensing face. ToughCoat prevents the adhesion and accumulation of weld spatter, as well as the associated problems - including physical damage or ‘burn-through’ to the internal components. The result is a sensor that lasts considerably longer than its standard weld field immune counterparts.

Featuring reverse polarity, short circuit, false pulse noise and overlay protections, the 871P weld field immune (WFI) VersaCube models provide a cost-effective solution for a range of general-purpose, welding and hygienic applications.

Additional capabilities include an enhanced feature set with increased performance, adding mounting features and options for new and drop-in retrofit applications and easy viewing with large indicators for status and diagnostics.
