Overview
The Turck BI3-Q06-AP6X2-0.2M-PSG is a compact rectangular embeddable inductive proximity sensor designed for harsh industrial environments. With a 6mm height profile and flush-mount design, this sensor fits into tight spaces while delivering consistent, reliable detection. The pre-wired M8 Picofast snap-lock connector and 0.2m (20cm) PUR cable jacket ensure fast installation and long-term durability in factory automation, conveyor systems, and equipment assembly lines.
Key Features
- 3mm Sensing Distance — Reliable object detection at close proximity; ideal for embeddable mounting
- Rectangular 6mm Profile — Compact footprint fits flush into equipment and machinery
- PNP Output — Sourcing logic compatible with most industrial controllers and PLCs
- 10–30 VDC Operation — Flexible supply voltage supports 12 VDC and 24 VDC standard plant installations
- IP67-Rated Housing — Sealed plastic PA12-GF30 glass-fiber sensing face resists coolant, moisture, and dust
- 1 kHz Switching Frequency — Handles high-speed detection cycles in automated environments
