Smart ring sensors for fast counting and reliable detection of metal parts

Turck BIxR-W20 inductive ring sensors enable fast, accurate, and reliable detection of small metal parts in feeding systems, conveyor lines, and machine tools. Featuring IO-Link communication, flexible configuration, and advanced diagnostic capabilities, they are a smart alternative to conventional ring sensors with fixed functionality.

More flexibility. Fewer sensor variants.

Conventional ring sensors are typically designed for a single task, requiring different sensor versions for different applications.

The advanced BIxR-W20 inductive ring sensors from Turck combine multiple functions in a single IP67-rated device. Various parameters can be configured easily via IO-Link or the Teach adapter, reducing the number of sensor variants and spare parts while simplifying machine design and engineering.

Key benefits of IO-Link ring sensors

Benefits of Inductive Ring Sensors Turck with IO-Link

A single sensor can be adapted to a wide range of applications by adjusting sensitivity, switching logic, output type, and selecting either static or dynamic operating mode.

In addition to detecting metal parts, the sensor provides process and diagnostic data via IO-Link, including switching cycles, operating hours, and temperature. This information supports machine condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.

The dynamic operating mode enables highly repeatable detection of very small, fast-moving metal parts while allowing the output pulse length to be configured as required.

IO-Link enables quick integration into both new and existing machines without the need for numerous application-specific sensor variants.

Available with eight ring diameters ranging from 6 to 50 mm, the BIxR-W20 series offers the optimal size even for installations where space is limited.
