TURCK releases miniature prox sensors that see 5mm

November 9, 2006 - TURCK’s new Q12 Uprox + sensors provide unrivaled sensing ranges from a miniature sensor. Q12 Uprox + sensors are able to achieve a full 5 mm sensing range when flush mounted; the furthest among similar products on the market. The miniature sensors augment TURCK’s existing line of Uprox + sensors that detect all metals at the same rated sensing distance. Q12 sensors measure a mere 12 x 40 x 26 mm, and feature an integrated 45 degree connector to facilitate use in space restrictive places. The Q12 is available with the M8 picofast , M12 eurofast or direct PUR cable connection, and utilizes a two-color LED that displays both operating voltage and dampened state. Uprox + sensors incorporate coils on a PCB with staggered oscillator frequencies to avoid mutual interference. This allows Q12 sensors to be mounted directly next to each other, fully flush, and embedded in metal. Uprox + sensors are also highly resistant to electromagnetic interference and provide up to 250 percent higher sensing ranges than traditional ferrite core proximity sensors. TURCK is an industry leader providing superior quality sensing, connectivity and network products to help manufacturers improve their automated processes.
