Turck has announced the addition of the Q80WD sensor to its range of washdown sensors. The Q80WD is an addition to the uprox+ family of factor one sensors that require no correction factor to detect any metal type.
The Q80WD features an improved design with a durable, stainless steel M12 connector and a chemical-resistant PPS thermoplastic housing that delivers resistance to chemicals and caustic cleaning agents, as well as shock and impact. Additionally, the housing materials are food-safe and meet FDA and EU regulations.
The existing uprox+ washdown family is comprised of 8, 12, 18 and 30 mm diameter barrels, 42 mm Qpaks with sensing ranges between 1,5 and 50 mm. The uprox+ technology is able to sense all types of metals at the same distance, not only eliminating the need to change the position of the sensors for different metal applications, but also reducing the number of sensor types needed for plant operations. In addition to an extended sensing distance, the Q80WD delivers reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -25° to 70°C and is IP68 approved or IP69k approved via the optional back plate.
