TURCK expands the uprox+ line of advanced factor 1 sensors with the Q10S distance sensor.
TURCK says the Q10S measures 10 x 10 x 28 mm sensor and can achieve sensing distances of up to 5 mm, depending on mounting configuration.
Q10S proximity sensors feature an active side face and detect all metals — including aluminium, copper and steel — at the same rated distance without requiring reinstallation.
TURCK says this flexibility makes Q10S sensors suitable for a broad range of industries, such as material handling, automated assembly, conveying, sorting, product positioning and industrial robotics.
Q10S sensors provide an integrated pre-damping function that allows them to be mounted directly on metal or flush-mounted, with metal present on four sides, without a reduction in performance.
With an intermediate metal plate, the sensors can be mounted directly beside one another without causing interference. Their internal electronics also make the sensors particularly resistant to EMC and provide an IP 68 protection rating.
