A Modular Temperature Sensor Assembly System for the Instrumentation Maintenance Professional

The SENSOR BOX™ is a modular temperature sensor assembly system for the instrumentation maintenance professional. It can be your solution to expediting, high inventory and expensive downtime. One of the challenges in maintaining industrial temperature sensors is the variety. It is difficult for the typical process plant to stock every sensor configuration they might need to replace - until now. By combining common parts into a modular system, a relatively small amount of stock can translate into the variety you need - quickly, and without expediting.

You Have A Problem...
3:00 PM on a Friday afternoon, and you’ve just discovered a temperature sensor has failed in an important process. The Safety Engineer wants the process shut down, but you’re under pressure to keep production moving. You’re going to spend the rest of the afternoon in “Panic Mode,” calling every sensor supplier you can think of, begging for the best delivery at a premium. Not very pretty.

If this sounds familiar, then the SENSOR BOX™ was developed to help improve your life. Maintenance or instrument technicians can now build a new temperature sensor assembly, install it and the plant can be back up and running in minutes rather than days! The SENSOR BOX™ is designed for any plant where temperature sensors are an important part of the operation, and downtime is not an option.

Inductive Proximity Sensor features IP68/69K rating

TURCK announces a new long-range inductive proximity sensor using FDA rated materials for wash down applications. The Q42-available in a top-facing model and front-facing model-is an addition to the uprox+ family of factor one sensors that require no correction factor to detect any metal type. The Q42 is designed to deliver optimal performance in applications that require frequent cleaning with chemicals found in food and beverage applications or where the sensor is exposed to wet environments, such as car washes or outdoor applications.

The Q42 features an improved design with a durable stainless steel connector and PA12 thermoplastic housing that delivers resistance to chemicals and caustic cleaning agents, as well as shock from impact. Additionally, the upgraded housing materials are food-safe and meet FDA Regulation 21CFR 177, 1500(9) for the U.S. and FDA/EGVO 1935/2004 for the E.U. The Q42 features integrated predamping that gives the designer flexibility to partially recess the sensor into their design.

"Although many of our existing sensors in the uprox+ family are inherently rated IP68, they are not optimally suited for high-pressure or extended exposure washdown applications," said John Murphy, Product Manager for TURCK. "The new Q42 allows our customers to achieve accurate sensing results, while providing peak performance and flexibility for applications that present even the harshest of conditions."

The existing uprox+ washdown family is comprised of 12, 18 and 30mm diameter barrels with sensing ranges between 4 and 30mm. The Q42 offers a sensing range of 50mm to all types of metals. This not only eliminates the need to change the position of the sensors for different metal applications, but also reduces the number of sensor types needed for plant operations. In addition to an extended sensing distance, the Q42 delivers reliable operation in temperatures ranging from -40 to 100 degrees Celsius.

NEW April 4th Ones Series Differential Pressure Sensor Range 0-5 PSID

Announcement: On April 4th, 2011, A new range added to all One Series electronic switches. The new range available is 0-5 PSID. The differential sensor has a 0 - 5 psid range with 0.5% accuracy, 0.1% repeatability and 0.08% temperature drift of full scale per Celsius. The body of the sensor is stainless steel with similar construction to the existing ranges. Wetted materials are all welded 316L stainless steel diaphragms for the high and low 1/4" NPT (male) process connections. Effective April 4th, Forberg Scientific customer service will be ready to take your One Series orders with the new range sensors.
