Metal Face Sensor – Weld Immune Inductive Proximity Sensor
Voxin Tech is a leading metal face sensor manufacturer and supplier in India. Our full stainless-steel face inductive proximity sensors (MFT/8P-C124) are engineered for robotic welding lines, automobile body-in-white, press shops and harsh industrial environments. Weld-field immune, IP67 / IP69K, with M12, M18 and M30 sizes available.
What is a Metal Face Sensor?
A metal face sensor (also known as a full-metal face inductive proximity sensor or weld-immune sensor) is a rugged industrial sensor whose sensing face is made of solid stainless steel instead of plastic. This makes it virtually indestructible in welding cells, stamping presses and high-impact automation environments where conventional plastic-faced proximity sensors fail within weeks.
Voxin Tech metal face sensors are widely used across the Indian automobile industry — from Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai assembly lines to Tata Motors and Bajaj welding robots — for reliable detection of metal targets in extreme conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a metal face sensor used for?
A metal face sensor is used to detect metal objects in extreme industrial environments such as robotic welding cells, stamping presses and automobile assembly lines, where conventional plastic-faced sensors would fail due to heat, weld spatter or impact.
What is the price of a metal face sensor in India?
The price of a Voxin Tech metal face sensor starts from ₹1,250 for M8 variants and goes up to ₹3,500 for M30 long-distance variants. Bulk pricing is available — please request a quote.
Are Voxin Tech metal face sensors weld field immune?
Yes. All Voxin Tech metal face sensors are immune to DC magnetic fields up to 100 mT, making them ideal for spot welding and MIG/MAG welding applications.
Do you provide M12, M18 and M30 variants?
Yes. We stock M8, M12, M18 and M30 threaded barrels in both flush and non-flush mounting versions, with NPN and PNP outputs.
Which industries use metal face sensors?
Automobile manufacturing, auto-component, machine tools, foundries, steel plants, heavy fabrication and robotic welding industries are the primary users of metal face sensors.
