Overview
The Turck BI15-CP40-VP4X is an inductive proximity sensor from the Combiprox series, engineered for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machinery control. With a 15mm sensing range and embeddable rectangular body design, this sensor delivers stable, fast-switching performance across manufacturing, packaging, and material handling environments.
Key Features
- Sensing Range: 15mm detection distance with maximum 150Hz switching frequency
- Supply Voltage: 10–65 VDC (nominal 12/24/48 VDC), ensuring compatibility with standard industrial control power supplies
- Output Configuration: PNP logic output (10–65 VDC, 200mA max.) with both normally open and normally closed complementary outputs
- Degree of Protection: IP67 rated for reliable operation in wet or contaminated environments
- Dual LED Indicators: Two LED indicators for real-time operational feedback
- Built-in Protection: Short-circuit (pulsed), overload, and reverse polarity protection
Technical Specifications
The BI15-CP40-VP4X is built for high-reliability OEM and system integrator applications requiring precise, repeatable object detection with minimal false triggers.
Typical Applications
- Packaging machinery and conveyor systems for product position detection
- Assembly-line automation where parts must be verified or counted
- Presence/absence detection in material handling and storage systems
- Stamping and metalworking equipment requiring embedded sensor mounting
- Food and beverage processing lines operating in high-moisture environments
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Industrial PLC and motion controller inputs accepting PNP digital logic
- Relay circuits and solid-state switching modules rated for 10–65 VDC
