Turck extends range of Q08 sensor to 8mm

A Turck product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 27, 2009

Turck's rugged Q08 Uprox+ Factor 1 sensor - designed to detect steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminium at the same rated sensing distance - now offers an extended range of 8mm.

With no reduction factor, Uprox+ Factor 1 sensors save time and labour costs over standard ferrite core proximity sensors, which must be adjusted and reinstalled to detect different metal types.

Along with its extended range, the Q08 sensor features a compact rectangular housing that makes it suitable for applications where mounting space is limited.

The Q08 sensor family comes equipped with internal shielding that effectively eliminates pre-damping, allowing users to employ the sensor's full switching distance without hindrance, even when the device is mounted on metal surfaces.

An IP 68 protection rating affords greater application flexibility as the Q08 sensor can resist dust, debris and moisture ingress in challenging manufacturing environments.

Two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provide a clear visual indication of the sensor's switching status.

Turck is a provider of sensing, connectivity, network and interface products designed to help manufacturers improve their automated processes.
