To meet the ever-shrinking dimensional needs of devices on the factory floor, Turck has developed a compact TBEN-S-RFID interface with an IP67 rating. The multiprotocol devices bring data from RFID read/write heads in the HF and UHF frequency band to the controller, via PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP. Due to their ability to connect actuators […]

Stainless steel faced sensors
The BI12-EG30F-AG6X stainless steel faced sensors are a good replacement for traditional plastic faced sensors in applications where the sensors are routinely damaged by impact. The one-piece housing is made from high-grade stainless steel which resists corrosion and is rated IP67 against moisture ingress. The standard temperature rating for the line is -25 to +70 […]
Big demand for small footprints
by Randy Durick, VP, Network & Interface Div., TURCK Automation component manufacturers shrink I/O blocks to meet growing demand for compact systems A Midwest automated machine builder had an installation problem on the factory floor. A new machine was a perfect solution to the space and efficiency demands of its customers. But to make it […]
Multi-functional vision sensor
A new generation of vision and barcode sensors offering multiple tools and resolution options in each unit has been introduced by Turck. The iVu Plus Gen2 line, developed by Turcks optic partner Banner Engineering, includes integral and remote screen models for use in a wide range of inspection, machine vision and quality control applications.

Robust miniature sensors
Turck has added the Q4,7 series of rectangular inductive sensors to its range of miniature sensors. The miniature sensors in the new design (16 x 8 x 4.7 millimeters) have been specially developed for applications in which they have to be fully embedded in metal, such as in pressing tools for example. These kinds of […]
Sensor Provides Choice of Temperature Range
Dynamic programmability in TURCK’s newest TTM sensor line allows the user to set the temperature range required for the application. In addition to more specific temperature control, programmability also allows the sensor to be programmed and used as a temperature switch. The sensors have a 4-20 mA temperature transmitter and are pre-scaled 0 to 150°C […]
