TURCK BI15U-M30-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Switch

Description:

The Turck BI15U-M30-AP6X-H1141 Inductive Proximity Switch is used in industrial automation systems for non-contact metallic object detection and position sensing using uprox® Factor 1 technology with extended switching distance. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, automotive assembly equipment, robotic cells, and material handling systems requiring equal sensing performance across ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, automation expansion, or sensor upgrades in demanding industrial environments.

Applications:

The Turck BI15U-M30-AP6X-H1141 is commonly used for part presence detection, machine positioning, end-of-travel sensing, product counting, and process sequencing in PLC-controlled manufacturing systems. Its uprox®+ technology provides identical sensing distances for steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel targets, making it suitable for automotive manufacturing, packaging equipment, conveyor systems, food processing machinery, and automated assembly lines operating in electrically noisy environments. The sensor's resistance to magnetic fields and recessed mounting capability make it well suited for harsh industrial environments.
