Commonly installed in conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly equipment, robotic cells, and material handling systems requiring reliable detection of all metal types with extended sensing distances. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this part for sensor replacement, machine retrofits, automation upgrades, and OEM equipment repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"665\" data-start=\"648\" data-section-id=\"5ms9th\"\u003eApplications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1291\" data-start=\"666\"\u003eThe TURCK NI12U-S18-AN6X is designed for industrial proximity sensing applications where consistent detection performance across steel, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel targets is required without physical contact. It is frequently used in automated production lines, pallet handling systems, machine tools, packaging equipment, and transfer systems where reliable object detection improves machine uptime and reduces mechanical wear. The UPROX technology provides equal sensing distances for all metals while offering resistance to magnetic fields and harsh industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-end=\"1322\" data-start=\"1293\" data-section-id=\"5hg6bl\"\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"2291\" data-start=\"1323\"\u003e• Manufacturer: TURCK\u003cbr data-end=\"1347\" data-start=\"1344\"\u003e• Model \/ Part Number: NI12U-S18-AN6X\u003cbr data-end=\"1387\" data-start=\"1384\"\u003e• Identification Number: 1645520\u003cbr data-end=\"1422\" data-start=\"1419\"\u003e• Product Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor\u003cbr data-end=\"1467\" data-start=\"1464\"\u003e• Sensor Technology: UPROX Factor 1 Inductive Sensor\u003cbr data-end=\"1522\" data-start=\"1519\"\u003e• Housing Style: Smooth Barrel\u003cbr data-end=\"1555\" data-start=\"1552\"\u003e• Housing Size: M18 Equivalent Smooth Body\u003cbr data-end=\"1600\" data-start=\"1597\"\u003e• Sensing Distance: 12 mm nominal\u003cbr data-end=\"1636\" data-start=\"1633\"\u003e• Output Type: NPN transistor output\u003cbr data-end=\"1675\" data-start=\"1672\"\u003e• Output Function: Normally Open (NO)\u003cbr data-end=\"1715\" data-start=\"1712\"\u003e• Supply Voltage: 10-30 VDC\u003cbr data-end=\"1745\" data-start=\"1742\"\u003e• Rated Load Current: 200 mA maximum\u003cbr data-end=\"1784\" data-start=\"1781\"\u003e• Switching Frequency: Up to 1 kHz\u003cbr data-end=\"1821\" data-start=\"1818\"\u003e• Connection Type: Cable or connector version depending on configuration\u003cbr data-end=\"1896\" data-start=\"1893\"\u003e• Mounting: Non-flush installation\u003cbr data-end=\"1933\" data-start=\"1930\"\u003e• Housing Material: Thermoplastic housing\u003cbr data-end=\"1977\" data-start=\"1974\"\u003e• Protection Rating: IP67\u003cbr data-end=\"2005\" data-start=\"2002\"\u003e• Operating Temperature: -30°C to +85°C\u003cbr data-end=\"2047\" data-start=\"2044\"\u003e• Special Features: UPROX sensing for all metals, magnetic field resistant, extended sensing distance\u003cbr data-end=\"2151\" data-start=\"2148\"\u003e• Application: Metal object detection, machine positioning, and industrial automation control systems. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"2317\" data-start=\"2293\" data-section-id=\"1cz0398\"\u003eCommon Replacements:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2399\" data-start=\"2318\"\u003e• TURCK NI12U-M18-AN6X-H1141\u003cbr data-end=\"2349\" data-start=\"2346\"\u003e• TURCK BI10U-S18-AN6X\u003cbr data-end=\"2374\" data-start=\"2371\"\u003e• IFM Electronic\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/ifm-ifs240-ifk3004bbpkg-us-104?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=3113beab0\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e IFS240\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turck","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51714299920686,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_c9bbcbbd-3906-48a9-9970-ad2c6109f0c4.jpg?v=1770421926","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/turck-ni12u-s18-an6x-inductive-proximity-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
