TURCK's weldguard proximity sensors shed slag like water off a duck, and are highly resistant to abrasion. They feature a rugged, hi-tech front cap offering durability tested up to 500 times greater than other proximity sensors. For critical welding applications, choose TURCK weldguard proximity sensors.

Proximity sensors in welding environments are damaged and destroyed for a variety of reasons including molten metal slag from MIG/TIG welding, and weld spatter from resistance (spot) welding. To help our customers increase productivity in weld cells, TURCK designed and tested specialty sensors and cordsets to withstand the high heat and rigors associated with this harsh environment.

If you are looking for TURCK Harsh-Duty Proximity Switches, please call us on (800) 894 - 0412 or email us at info@clrwtr.com we will do our best to help you find the TURCK Metal Barrel WeldGuard Prox Sensors that you are looking for at competitive prices. If you are searching for TURCK Stainless Steel Inductive Proximity Switch technical information (data-sheets) please use the datasheets or product selection guide page links.

TURCK's weldguard sensors use a proprietary material on the sensing face that is:

• Independently tested to over 25,000 operations without failure
• Impervious to weld spatter that creates pitting, chipping and cracking caused by resistance welding
• Resistant to pitting, chipping and cracking caused by molten metal traveling at high velocity
• A superior replacement for any type of material used on a sensing face
• Able to withstand high heat

TURCK armorguard is the Solution Where Sensors Get Continually Impacted by the Target or Fixtures. TURCK's armorguard provides built-in durability that:

• Protects sensor face from impact
• Includes weldguard material on sensing face to resist weld slag
• Extends the life of the sensor dramatically
• Available in 8, 12, 18 or 30 mm barrel diameters, as well as cube style sensors
• TURCK's armorguard sleeves are available as an accessory to the sensor to protect the sensing face from lateral impact when not in a direct weld environment.

TURCK stoneface is the solution to those high abrasion and MIG weld flow problems. TURCK's stoneface sensors use a glass filled thermoset plastic material on the sensing face that:

• Protects the sensing face from abrasion
• Is resistant to weld slag buildup that is often a result of MIG/TIG welding
• Is available with Teflon coated barrels to shed weld slag

TURCK's heavy-duty stainless steel construction:

• Protects the barrel and internal electronics from damage due to impact
• Protects the sensing face from damage due to abrasion
• Available with Teflon or weldguard coating for protection against weld slag
• No areas of entry, preventing oils and lubricants from seeping into the sensor
• One piece stainless steel housing

A variety of accessories are available to help protect sensors from weld splatter and physical damage.

• Cushion mount accessory protects sensor when used as an end stop
• Teflon and ceramic caps protect the sensor face from weld splatter
• armorguard sleeves protect against physical abuse
• Teflon coated quick mount allow for quick change mounting
