Monitoring flow and temperature
Double protection: The FS+ not only monitors the flow of coolant on the welding robot but also detects any
impending overheating of the cooling circuit
Turck is developing a platform concept with the new product portfolio in the fluid sensors. The devices
offer a wide range of variants and combinations while having common key features at the same time. The
compact FS+ flow sensor with IO-Link now follows the April market launch of the PS+ pressure sensor.
This monitors both flow as well as temperature and features practical Teach functions.
Unmistakably similar and yet equipped with individual strengths – the members of Turck's fluid sensor series. In
April the PS+ pressure sensor had already set high standards with its award-winning design, robustness and an
innovative operating concept. This will now also be the benchmark for the FS+ – a compact fluid sensor for
monitoring fluid media, which also measures temperature, supports IO-Link and considerably simplifies
commissioning.
The sensor head is the characteristic feature of the compact sensors. This consists of a stainless steel housing and a single-piece translucent front cap. Thanks to the reduced sealing area, humidity and dust cannot penetrate inside the devices, while UV and salt spray resistant materials offer special protection in outdoor applications. The sealing concept enables protection types IP6K6K, IP6K7 as well as IP6K9K, since the sensors no longer have any mechanical operating elements. Instead, users navigate functions like on a smartphone via wear-free, capacitive touchpads.
Innovative design concept
The devices don't just have a similar appearance or carry the plus sign in their name. In future Turck will be putting its entire fluid portfolio on a standard technology platform. Sensor users will therefore find many of the same product features and the standard handling concept in the entire series. The modular and freely configurable mechanical concept, shorter delivery times and easier stock management are additional benefits.The sensor head is the characteristic feature of the compact sensors.
