Magnetic Position Sensors with IO-Link

Turck's new WIM-IOL series offers compact magnetic field sensors with digital interface for measuring ranges from 32 mm to 256 mm

Turck has extended its offering of compact position sensors with the WIM-IOL series for detecting magnetic pistons in pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. The new series consists of eight models with IO-Link 1.1, covering measuring spans from 32 mm to 256 mm. Users can teach the measuring range of sensors quickly and conveniently to the stroke of the pistons in the cylinder with IO-Link and the integrated pushbutton. This makes mounting simpler when compared to analog sensors, as they either have to be fitted exactly to the dead points or operate with correction factors in the controller. The sensors are IP67 and operate with a 15-bit resolution.

Typical applications include feed detection in injection molding or automatic screwing machines, the positioning of the welding head with ultrasonic welding and the monitoring the foil tension in packaging machines.
