Photoelectric sensors and systems use visible or infrared light to detect many different kinds of objects without contact, regardless of their material, quality and consistency. Whether standard or programmable multifunctional versions, compact devices or devices with external amplifier etc., each sensor has special features suited for different applications – with us you find the largest range of photoelectric solutions worldwide.

The Swedish Purac Puregas company is an expert for biogas upgrading plants, which can upgrade biogas from fermented household garbage and other organical waste very efficiently into methane and CO2. Purac Puregas recently improved the maintenance work for its gas plants with a new remote IO system that met all their demands: Turck’s excom system for use in hazardous and non-hazardous areas.With its gas company Purac Puregas the Swedish Läckeby Water Group offers biogas upgrading plants. The Purac Puregas gas plants take raw biogas and upgrade it to practically pure bio methane. With its chemical absorption process, called CApure, the plants remove carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfur (H2S) from the raw biogas. That increases the efficiency of the biogas plant and improves its ecobalance.

  With the compact or modular RFID system from Turck, you can use the proven HF technology and the wide-reaching UHF technology in parallel in one identification solution. The Turck RFID system offers tags, read/write heads, connectivity solutions and the corresponding interfaces, which can be flexibly combined depending on requirements. Interfaces are available for PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP, PROFIBUS-DP, DeviceNet™, CANopen and EtherCAT®.

  Our product portfolio guarantees maximum flexibility for temperature measurement. The temperature sensors of the TS series offer tailor-made solutions by simple programming, flexible process connections and displays. The TTM/TTMS series includes a number of compact sensors - optionally with integrated probe or with M12 connector for separate probes. The T-Gage infrared sensors contactlessly measure temperatures from 0 to 300 °C. The TP-series includes temperature probes in various lengths and diameters.

We are offering interface product. Take advantage of the flexibility and versatility the turck interface product portfolio offers: compact designs, a choice of different operating concepts and configurations, as well as a wide range of features for separating, conditioning, processing, converting and adapting digital and analog signals - available as 1 to 4-channel versions, for ex and non-ex applications. You get interface solutions in the required design and with the functionality you need for your application.

We offer the appropriate interface device for separating, forming, processing, converting and conditioning analog signals. The product portfolio comprises analog signal isolators, isolating transducers, temperature measuring amplifiers, potentiometer amplifiers, trip amplifiers and level monitors - for simple and complex requirements, for Ex- and non-Ex applications, available in the IP20 housing for DIN rail as well as in the compact IP67 housing for decentralized on-site remote control.

  We offer cables in different qualities, perfectly tailored to the respective application. The products range from simple PVC up to PUR and PP cable types for food and beverage applications. All cables are available as yard goods or with injection-moulded connectors.

  Our pressure sensors detect relative or absolute pressures in liquids and gases. The PS series offers pressure sensors with display and various output variants (switching and analog output) and communication via IO-Link. The PT series includes pressure sensors without display with analog output for media temperatures up to -125 °C. The PC series offers communication via IO-Link. The sensors of the PK-series are especially designed for pneumatic and vacuum applications.

A Chinese manufacturer of differential gears uses Turck's TBIL IO-Link hub to connect hundreds of sensors and actuators in production. Each of these junction boxes connects up to 16 sensors or actuators via IO-Link. The solution saves minimizes the time required for assembling multicore cables while also reducing costs. The solution is completed with Turck's BL20 Profibus gateways with IO-Link master modules. Besides switching signals, they also bring RFID data and analog signals to the PLC.

  Our rugged inclinometers of the Q20L60 and Q42 series capture almost any inclination and can also be used in systems implementing fast motions or subjected to shocks. We offer sensors for angular ranges of ±10°, ±45°, ±60° and ±85° as well as with freely selectable measuring range 0…360°. The following output variants are available: 4…20 mA, 0.1…4.9 V, 0…10 V, PNP/NPN window as NC or NO contact, IO-Link, CANopen.

  Path measurement can be solved with various sensors. The inductive linear position sensors operate contactless and wear-free according to a revolutionary measuring principle. The position is not detected via a positioning magnet but via an oscillating RLC circuit. The product portfolio comprises magnetostrictive linear position sensors for position tracking in hydraulic cylinders or encoders for the tracking of floats as well as draw-wire sensors. Over a length of up to 40 meters, path information is transmitted in a highly precise and dynamic manner to the higher-level controller via digital and analog interfaces.
