Abstract

Method of making a proximity probe including providing a preform having an interior cavity accessible by an opened rearward end; coupling a coil to the preform proximate a forward most end of the preform for defining an assembly; locating a single support pin through the rearward end such that the support pin extends within the interior cavity while having an end emanating from the rearward end; cantilevering the emanating end between an upper and a lower mold plate defining a mold cavity for supporting the assembly; injecting moldable material into the mold cavity for molding an encapsulation of material over the assembly for defining an encapsulated probe tip, allowing the encapsulated probe tip to cure; removing the encapsulated probe tip from the mold cavity; removing the support pin from the assembly, and coupling a cable to the encapsulated probe tip for forming the proximity probe.
