Factor 1 - Detect Ferrous and Non-ferrous Metals Reliably

Shawn and Jack discuss Balluff’s new generation of high-precision inductive factor 1 sensors which accurately detect ferrous (iron-based) metals like steel and non-ferrous metals like aluminum and brass at the same rated switching distance. Typical inductive sensors have a reduced range for non-ferrous metal, requiring a correcting factor to calculate their switching distance. Not so with Factor 1 sensors; they detect both types of metal with no correction factor needed.
