INSPECTION, TEST & MEASUREMENT FEATURE FACTOR 1 INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSORS GO THE DISTANCE
Turck Banner has announced availability in the UK of Uprox3, a series of inductive proximity sensors offering the largest switching distances of all Factor 1 (specific type of inductive sensor with the same switching distance for ferrous and non- ferrous metals) sensors on the market. The electronic base and manufacturing technologies are a world first, enabling the creation of the sensors in compact, 4 mm smooth barrel and M5 designs with a 1 mm switching distance even when flush- mounted. When Turck presented the first Uprox Factor 1 sensor in 1994 the new air coil system used was superior to the conventional ferrite core in virtually every situation. It provided extremely high magnetic field immunity that allowed the sensors to be operated without the problems of false switching in the proximity of electric welding plants, induction ovens or linear drives. The classical Uprox principle consists of a transmitter coil and two receiver coils and is considered to be the forefather of all differential transformer sensor systems. Uprox+ uses two pairs of transmitter and
receiver coils directly on the chip in order to increase the effective signal. This second generation offered the benefits of larger switching distances together with designs and mounting options previously
As with their predecessors all Uprox3 sensors offer high EMC stability and flexible mounting including full flush mounting and precise switching points. A further enhancement of Uprox3 is the
unheard of. Uprox3 sensors are the third generation; switching distances are now increased by as much as 50%. It was previously unattainable to sense 3 mm in the M8 design, 6 mm in M12 and 10 mm in M18. Turck has been able to achieve these larger switching distances without any compromise in performance. Because of their inherent immunity to
magnetic fields Uprox3 series sensors are suitable for use in many demanding industrial sectors such as welding for the automotive and metal forming markets and the rail industry. The Uprox3 series is available with robust PTFE coated sensors in M8, M12 and M18 designs (Weldguard coated versions are available).

inclusion of IO-Link enabled sensors in M12 and M18 barrel sizes, giving variable switching options, temperature monitoring and identification capabilities. In field tests at car manufacturing plants where the previous 8mm switching distance of the M18 Uprox+ was reaching its limits the factor 1 sensor proved a perfect enhancement. To reduce the speed of the process is not an option so the larger switching distance of the Uprox3 makes a significant contribution to more reliable and efficient production processes. Welding spark-resistant M8, M12 and
M18 variants with PTFE-coated housings are ideal for welding applications, particularly in the automotive sector. As with previous generations the design
of all Uprox3 sensors provides them with an extremely good EMC performance and immunity to magnetic fields. The coating reliably prevents welding spatter from sticking and building up on the sensor face.
