Turck Bi3U-M12-AN6X Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI3U-M12-AN6X is a compact inductive proximity sensor built on Turck’s uprox technology for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation. It delivers equal sensing distances for all metal types while resisting magnetic fields and harsh environments, making it well-suited for packaging machines, conveyors, assembly lines, robotic cells, and other automated production equipment where reliable position feedback is required. Encased in a chrome-plated brass M12 threaded barrel (M12 x 1) with IP68 protection for flush mounting in OEM gear, this sensor offers a 3 mm sensing range, 10-30 VDC supply, and a 3‑wire NPN normally open output rated up to 200 mA with switching frequency up to 3 kHz; a yellow status LED provides visual indication. It supports either integral cable or connector versions depending on configuration and includes protections such as reverse polarity and short-circuit protection and maintains the designation of a Factor 1 inductive sensor with magnetic field resistance for robust performance in packaging, material handling, and manufacturing applications.
