In order to meet the demands of harsh applications, TURCK has expanded its QR24 line
of contactless rotary position sensors to include a version with stainless steel housing. Available in SSI or with incremental outputs
and equipped with 316 stainless steel housing, the new variant is built to withstand harsh environments such as those involving
chemicals or high-pressure water sprays. The wear-free performance of the existing QR24 line combined with the stainless steel
housing makes the stainless steel QR24 variant an ideal solution for applications that encounter extreme environmental conditions
such as in the food and beverage and off highway equipment industries.
The stainless steel QR24 sensor features a fully potted and sealed IP69K/IP68-rated housing to protect against moisture and
dust. It also offers flexible parameterization via IO Link or easyteach, allowing the sensor to easily adapt to specific application
requirements.
While rotary feedback is crucial in many installations, many rely on their mechanical bearings to provide proper tolerance and
position of the internal system. After time, mechanical wear, vibrations, potential leaks in bearing seals, etc. can contribute to
premature failure. The QR24 provides customers with contactless position detection, executing the same functions but without the
need for contact or bearings, allowing for longer and more reliable solution that saves installation time and costs.
The TURCK QR24 series is part of the company’s industry-recognized Q-track family of sensors, which utilize resistance inductive
capacitance (RLC) measuring technology. Unlike potentiometric or magnetic technologies, the sensors incorporate precisely
manufactured printed emitter and receiver coil systems. The emitter coils are activated with a high frequency AC field and produce
an inductive RLC circuit with the positioning element. The element is inductively coupled with the receiver coils, which are
arranged so different voltages are induced in the coils, depending on the position of the actuator. The voltages serve as a measure
for the sensor signal.

For those that need measurements as fast as 2 ms, the LE’s fastest response option has not been changed. As a result, the repeatability from 600 – 1000 mm is slightly coarser than the Class 2 models when using the fastest speed.
FEATURES
- Ready to measure from 100 up to 1,000 mm out of the box
- Linear array provides repeatability and accuracy for challenging targets
- Priced below competition with similar performance
- Easy to set up and use with a two-line,
eight-character display
- Visible laser for small spot size and easy alignment

Banner Engineering's Q4XCOD sensor utilizes the same dual mode (dual intensity distance window) functionality to detect transparent and challenging objects regardless of angle or shape as the standard Q4XTBLAF. Similarly, no retro reflector is needed for operation, allowing users to simply teach the sensor the background of the application and go.
To provide a faster and easier installation solution for clear object detection, the clear object detection mode (also known as dual mode) is the default setting for this sensor, eliminating 2-point, dynamic, foreground suppression, and background suppression mode. The simplicity of this model is ideal for applications that deal with clear or transparent objects, such as:
- Thermal formers and blow molding
- Bottle filling and bottle handling
- Shrink wrapped package detection and clear bottle (glass or PET), jar, or tray detection
FEATURES
- Simplified menu options targeted at the detection of clear and challenging targets
- No reflector required
- Peak detection performance from 25 to 300 mm; longer ranges may be achievable depending on the application
- FDA grade IP69k stainless steel housing withstands aggressive cleaning procedures
- Angled four-digit display is easily viewed from multiple vantage points with easy to view output indicator

The NEWPORT® iTHX-SD transmitter lets you monitor and record Temperature, Relative Humidity and Dew Point over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special software except a Web Browser.
The iTHX-SD serves Active Web Pages to display real time readings, display charts of temperature and humidity, or log data in standard data formats for use in a spreadsheet or data acquisition program such as Excel or Visual Basic. The virtual chart viewed on the web page is a JAVA™ Applet that records a chart over the LAN or Internet in real time. With the iTHX-SD, there is no need to invest time and money learning a proprietary software program to log or chart the data.
SD Flash Memory Card
The iTHX-SD comes complete with a removable 2 GB SD Flash Memory card that can store up to seven years of readings taken at ten second intervals.
Records on SD Flash Cards
The data is recorded on widely available SD (Secure Digital) flash cards. The format is a simple text file that is easily imported to spread sheets and other programs. It can be read on a PC or MAC with a USB card reader. You can also download the data remotely over an Ethernet network or the Internet.
Alarm Relays
The iTHX-SD features two 1.5 Amp relays. With the easy Web-based setup page, the two relays can be programmed for any combination of temperature or humidity, and high or low set points. The relays can also be programmed to remain latched and require a manual reset if a limit is exceeded.
Battery Backup
The iTHX-SD comes with a universal 100 to 240 Vac power adapter. A standard 9 Volt Alkaline battery (also included) allows the device to log data for up to 2 days without external ac power. A failure on the Ethernet network will not interrupt data recording.
Adjustable Charts
Chart scales are fully adjustable on the fly. For example, the chart can display one minute, one hour, one day, one week, one month or one year. Temperature and humidity can be charted across the full span (-40 to 124°C, and 0 to 100% RH) or within any narrow range such as (20 to 30°C). When a second sensor is added, users can select a chart that records channel 1, channel 2, or the difference of the two channels.
