Spring-Loaded Mounts

Frankfort, New York, July 1, 1999: Soft-Noze USA introduces the new "SN12LP"… a low profile cushioned sensor mount. This latest addition to the patented Cushioned Sensor Mount family allows any standard industrial 12mm proximity sensor to be "spring-loaded" providing 12.3mm (0.486") of over travel protection. The new "SN12LP" can to be mounted into any standard 18mm mounting hole. All components are 303 stainless steel. Each SN12LP come with a free 30 degree bevel-edged glass-filled nylon cap to ward-off abrasive metal chips, further soften impacts and allow over traveling side passing targets to safely slide by.

In essence, the mount converts a non contact sensor into a contact-protected sensor by adding to the sensing distance. The SN12LP has a spring-loaded body and helps solve such manufacturing problems as: detection of inconsistent machine motion; "no signal" trouble calls; and the impact damage or destruction of the sensor itself. Typical applications include automatic conveyor systems, packaging plants, robotic assembly lines, lift systems and sheet metal fabricators.

Founded in 1991, the Company is recognized as the industry leader in sensor accessories, mounts and brackets. With hundreds of models fitting sensors made by over 50 manufacturers, Soft-Noze is known for its knowledge of the sensor industry's needs and trends. The Company is located in Frankfort, NY.
