Turck Bi5U-Q08-AN6X2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description:

The Turck BI5U-Q08-AN6X2 inductive proximity sensor is used in industrial machine sensing and metal object detection systems. Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, robotic assembly equipment, material handling systems, and automated production lines requiring compact non-contact metal detection in confined mounting spaces. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this part for sensor replacement, machine repairs, automation retrofits, and production line expansions.

Applications:

The Turck BI5U-Q08-AN6X2 utilizes UPROX technology to provide equal sensing performance across all metal types while maintaining immunity to magnetic fields and harsh industrial environments. Its compact rectangular housing makes it ideal for packaging equipment, pick-and-place systems, bottling machinery, assembly stations, and manufacturing equipment where traditional cylindrical sensors cannot be easily installed.
