Turck Si15-K30-AN6 Slot Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck SI15-K30-AN6 Slot Sensor is a slot inductive proximity sensor that detects metallic objects inside a 15 mm sensing slot without physical contact, designed for industrial automation. With a 30 mm slot width and 10–30 VDC supply, it provides a normally open (NO) NPN output for straightforward integration into control circuits via a cable connection. The plastic housing (PBT-GF30-V0) is built for slot mounting and is rated IP67, enabling reliable operation in dirty or wet factory environments from -25°C to +70°C. Common applications include conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly automation, stamping equipment, and material handling systems where fast, accurate part presence or position detection supports production efficiency. In the SI15 family, Turck also lists common replacements such as SI15-K30-AZ3, SI15-K30-AP6X, and SI15-K30-LIU, illustrating ongoing compatibility across related part numbers. This sensor is well suited for repairs, retrofits, or expansions requiring a compact, rugged slot sensor with inductive metal detection in a 15 mm slot.
