Sencon’s 11-487-00 Short Can Sensor can be used to replace the following sensors: 9-287-03, 11-287-63, 11-287-33,
11-287-53, 9H-387-56, 11-387-S1.
The 11-487-00 is a direct replacement for some of the sensors above while others will require a wiring change in the
bodymaker.

The SENCON 11-487-00 is a self-contained metal
discriminator proximity switch; an excellent choice for
can line machine control. The sensor detects wall-ironed
aluminum over carbide tooling and is designed to act as
“short can” detector to protect the tooling in wall ironing
machines.
The integral electronics interface directly with
discrete logic or computer controlled systems and
are encapsulated inside an all metal housing. This
