TURCK Bi15U-Q20-AP6X2-H1141 Proximity switch

Description:

The Turck BI15U-Q20-AP6X2-H1141 Inductive Proximity Sensor is used in industrial automation systems for non-contact metallic object detection and position sensing using uprox® Factor 1 technology. 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-Q20-AP6X2-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 allows consistent detection of steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel at the same sensing distance, making it suitable for automotive manufacturing, packaging equipment, conveyor systems, and automated assembly lines operating in electrically noisy environments. The compact Q20 housing allows installation where mounting space is limited while maintaining high sensing performance.
