IP69k proximity sensors for washdown environments

A Turck product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team May 7, 2008

The Turck line of uprox+ Factor 1 sensors now include IP69k rated washdown versions with temperature ratings from -40 to +100C, for proximity sensing in the food/beverage and pharmaceutical industries

These proximity sensors are designed to be exceptionally resilient to the high-pressure cleaning agents often found in these industries.

The sensors incorporate durable 316 stainless steel construction and a liquid crystal polymer front cap that aids in resisting moisture ingress.

They also consist of a polypropylene cable jacket that stands up to harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures.

The uprox+ sensors feature longer sensing ranges for detecting all metals, including non-ferrous metals such as stainless steel, at the same rated distance.

This is especially useful in applications like food and beverage where the possible targets are often made from stainless steel.

Turck is an industry leader providing superior quality sensing, connectivity and network products to help manufacturers improve their automated processes.
