Turck has added new designs to its portfolio of ultrasonic sensors. The RU sensor in the M18 housing is now also available as a right-angled head variant. Its radiation angle is rotated by 90°, which simplifies mounting in restricted and angular spaces. Angle head variants are available for ranges up to 130 cm.
The ultrasonic sensor in the CK40 housing is particularly suited for room monitoring or sag detection. Its rectangular design enables a very large detection angle of 60°. This enables the sensor to detect objects, which only scatter the reflected sound signals or reflect them very poorly. The CK40 is suitable for ranges up to 250 cm and is available with an M12 or terminal chamber connection.
Turck has developed the robust RU-600U in the M30 stainless steel housing with a 600 cm switching distance for applications requiring a very large range. In spite of its large range, it comes with a very short blind zone of only 60 cm.
Turck offers the compact M18 ultrasonic sensors in three new variants. The M18 sensor with a frequency output (LFX) provides an inexpensive alternative to the conventional analog output in applications requiring a measured value. The other compact variant is an opposed mode sensor. This sensor switches as soon as the sound signal is no longer reflected. In this version, the blind zone of the sensors is extremely small. Compact ultrasonic sensors with an NPN output have also been added to the range.
