June 24, 2012 - TURCK introduces a white paper, "Factor 1 Sensors: The Evolution of Metal Detection," The white paper compares proximity sensors to factor 1 sensors, discussing performance capabilities, mounting options and cost-efficiency. Sensing metal components can be difficult given the versatility of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and range of thicknesses. Obtaining reliable results for multiple metals with a single proximity sensor can be problematic given the technology’s limitations and lack of flexibility and durability. Alternatively, factor 1 sensing technology accurately detects all metal types at the same range without requiring adjustment, accommodating a wider range of applications and environmental conditions.

Download the complimentary white paper to learn why factor 1 sensing is ideal for metal detection. TURCK is an industry leader providing superior quality sensing, connectivity and network products to help manufacturers improve their automated processes.
