The TURCK BI10U-M30-AP6X is a high-durability inductive proximity sensor engineered for accurate detection of metallic objects in harsh industrial settings. It features a stainless steel M30 × 1.5 threaded housing, a 10 mm flush sensing distance, and a PNP normally open (NO) output, making it compatible with most sourcing PLC input modules. This model is designed for consistent performance in aggressive conditions such as food and beverage processing, packaging, machine tools, and outdoor machinery. With IP68/IP69K protection, it resists high-pressure washdowns, oil, dust, and other contaminants, while the LED status indicator provides immediate visual feedback. The sensor operates on a 10–30 VDC supply and offers built-in protection against short circuits, reverse polarity, and overload. Its rugged build and simplicity make it a dependable choice for OEMs, system integrators, and maintenance teams looking for reliable metal detection in critical environments.
