INDUSTRY
APPLICATIONS
PRESENCE
Turck’s diverse product portfolio may be applied in a myriad of industries, such as automotive, food and beverage and
semiconductor. There are many industries where Turck products have a strong history of success; for instance, the use of
sensors in canning, bottling and pulp and paper plant operations. This rich history helped establish Turck as one of the most
prominent sensor manufacturers in the world, and served as a catalyst for success with Turck’s other product lines. You will be
hard-pressed to find a market where Turck sensors, connectivity, and fieldbus technology products have not been successful.
Just a few of the markets where Turck has thrived are listed below.

• Assembly • Food & Beverage • Pharmaceutical

• Automotive • Machine Tool & Die • Semiconductor
• Canning & Bottling • Material Handling • System Integration
• Chemical & Petrochemical • Mobile Equipment • Transportation
• Electronics • Oil and Gas • Water Treatment
• Energy • Packaging, Converting & Printing
APPLICATIONS
The array of applications where Turck products are used is as extensive as the mar-
kets where they are applied. In fact, many Turck solutions have been designed to meet specific
applications and keep Turck customers ahead of the competition, including:

Industrial Ethernet
Turck provides customers with forward-thinking Industrial Ethernet products which allow them to control and stream-
line manufacturing processes like never before. From M8 Ethernet
connectivity solutions for shrinking control devices to Turck's Multiprotocol Ethernet technology, Turck's innovative
solutions allow Industrial Ethernet communication to be done quicker
and easier.

Welding
A full line of products have been specially developed for use in welding environments. These sensors, cordsets and
network devices use special materials that resist weldslag buildup. Turck’s uprox®3 sensors feature an integrated pre-
damping protection function, which allows
embeddable sensors to be recessed mounted by a half turn. It also allows non-embeddable barrel style sensors to be
embedded in metal up to the outer edge of the thread and non-flush rectangular style sensors to be embedded in
metal on all four sides with some reduction in
sensing range.

Washdown for Food and Beverage

Turck uses the highest-quality materials for its IP69K washdown-grade sensors, cordsets and I/O stations. These parts
are able to withstand the spraying, cleaning and humid or moist environments often found in food and beverage ap-
plications.

Extreme Temperatures
Turck products have some of the highest tolerances to temperature extremes on the market. Sensors are available
with ratings as low as -60 ˚C or high as 250 ˚C and I/O products are rated from -40 ˚C to 70 ˚C. For connectivity, Turck's
extremelife-60 cable offering combines an
unparalleled amount of approvals for extreme temperatures and is temperature rated from
-60 ˚C to 105 ˚C.
