TURCK’s Q12 Sensors Provide Unrivaled Sensing Distances

Markham,ON—November 11, 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 fl ush 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 fl ush, 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.
