Turck BI15-CP40-VP4X2-S10 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI15-CP40-VP4X2-S10 Inductive Proximity Sensor is a shielded inductive sensor used for non-contact detection of metal objects and machine-position sensing in PLC-controlled automation. Housed in the CP40 Combiprox housing with variable sensing-face orientation, it supports installation in conveyors, packaging equipment, transfer lines, and material-handling systems where both normally open and normally closed PNP outputs are needed. The S10 variant includes a 1/2-14 NPT threaded mounting base for robust industrial installation. Key specs: sensing distance 15 mm; output type PNP complementary (NO + NC); four-wire DC configuration; supply voltage 10-65 VDC; max load current 200 mA; switching frequency 250 Hz; IP67 protection; rectangular housing 114 x 40 x 40 mm; housing material PBT-GF30-V0 reinforced plastic. The active face orientation is adjustable in 9 positions, and the unit uses a terminal chamber for electrical connections. Typical applications include part presence detection, end-of-travel monitoring, machine positioning, and product verification in conveyor, packaging, transfer, and automated production lines requiring reliable metal detection and discrete interlock/sequencing outputs.
