In addition to this new sensor series, Turck's safety technology portfolio also includes safety I/O modules. Thanks to the inclusion of an OSSD output, this series of safety inductive sensors provides wear-free detection, safe orientation and range monitoring without the need for a separate device, and may be used in such applications:
Compactors (e.g. waste compactors in waste trucks)
Canopy & Manhole (Repair Door)
Bearing detection of roller coaster constraint restrictions
Orientation of the monitoring door in the security zone
Because almost every machine has some kind of safety requirement, many safety products can be used, and Turck also has other safety products, such as our safety I/O modules.
Main functions and features
Degree of protection IP67
Temperature range -25...+70°C
Nickel-plated brass housing with detection surface made of plastic
2-color status LED
M12 adapter
Inductive sensors are wear-free and maintenance-free, providing customers with additional advantages. For example, mechanical availability and long service life. It is now possible to offer a safe inductive sensor with a compact design that can be combined with existing accessories to make the device easier to use.
Positioning in safety technology
In addition to the new safety inductive sensors, the portfolio also includes safety I/O modules. Inductive sensors are suitable for those who want a wear-free and safe solution in their application in a cost-effective way. Another advantage of this inductive switch is the OSSD output, which can be connected directly to our safety I/O modules.
In addition to the standard safety switches, Turck also offers a comprehensive portfolio of inductive, capacitive and magnetic sensors with NAMUR outputs. These Ex-certified devices are designed for use in the process industry.

Triangulation principle for photoelectric sensors – Turck sensors
So what is right and wrong color aberration? To put it simply, it is an ordinary diffuse reflex sensor, for example, if you set punctuality to learn a black object, assuming that the sensing interval of the black object is set to 50 mm, then when the sensor detects a white object, the practical action interval may reach 80 mm, which ...

Static properties of sensors – Turck
The static characteristics of a sensor refer to the correlation between the output and input of the sensor for the static input signal. Since neither the input nor the output is moment-independent, the relationship between them, i.e., the static properties of the sensor, can be used as an algebra without the moment variables.
