Turck BI5-G18-RP6X M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description:

The Turck BI5-G18-RP6X 10M inductive proximity sensor is used in industrial metal detection and position sensing systems. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, material handling systems, and automated production lines requiring non-contact object detection over long cable distances. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for replacement, retrofit, expansion, and automation system repairs.

Applications:

The Turck BI5-G18-RP6X 10M is designed for contactless detection of metallic targets in industrial automation environments. The Turck BI5-G18-RP6X 10M is commonly used in packaging equipment, conveyor transfer systems, machine tools, assembly stations, and manufacturing machinery where reliable object detection and position feedback are required for PLC-controlled processes. The integrated 10 meter cable makes it ideal for large machines and installations where the control cabinet is located far from the sensing point.
