Safety-type inductive sensors with OSSD outputs have been added to the safety technology portfolio.
More applications
In addition to this new sensor series, Turck's safety technology portfolio also includes safe I/O modules. Featuring OSSD outputs, this series of safe inductive sensors provides wear-free detection and safe position and range monitoring without the need for separate corresponding components. Potential applications include:
● Compactors (e.g., garbage compactors in garbage trucks)
● Engine cover and access panel (maintenance door)
● Roller coaster restraint location detection
● Location of the monitoring gate in the safe zone
Since almost every machine has some kind of security requirement, a wide range of security products can be used. Turck also has other security products, such as our secure I/O modules.
Main functions and features
● Protection level IP67
● Temperature range -25…+70°C
● Nickel-plated brass casing; the detection surface is made of plastic.
●2- color status LED
●M12 connector
Inductive sensors offer customers several advantages due to their wear-free and low-maintenance nature, such as mechanical availability and long service life. Safety-grade inductive sensors are now also available, featuring a compact design that simplifies application installation when used with existing accessories.
Position in security technology
In addition to the new safety-type inductive sensor, the product portfolio also includes safety I/O modules. The inductive sensor is suitable for users who want to implement wear-free safety solutions in their applications in a cost-effective manner. Another advantage of this inductive switch is its OSSD output, which can be directly connected to our safety I/O modules.
In addition to standard safety switches, Turck offers a comprehensive portfolio of inductive, capacitive, and magnetic field sensors with NAMUR outputs and SIL 2/PL d certification. These Ex- certified devices are designed for applications in the process industry.
