Minneapolis—TURCK’s Q-pak ®, BIM-UNR and BIM-UNT sensors are now equipped with WeldGuard™ protection to make them impervious to weld slag and spatter often accompanying MIG and TIG welding operations. TURCK’s proprietary WeldGuard protective material has been applied to these compact, rectangular sensors’ faces, and protective sleeves are also available to protect the attached connector and cordset.

TURCK’s BIM-UNR and BIM-UNT line of magnetic cylinder position sensors are one of the most compact sensors currently available on the market. The BIM-UNR sensor is designed to mount within C-groove cylinders, while the BIM-UNT mounts in T-groove, dovetail or tie rod pneumatic cylinders—all without requiring additional tools or accessories.

Q-pak uprox ®+ factor 1 sensors from TURCK feature extended range capabilities of 8 mm for all metals. The Q08 sensors’ compact size is well-suited for applications with limited mounting space, and an IP68 protection rating allows the sensors to be used in a wide variety of applications.
