Now, quick disconnect sensors may be used in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D environments when equipped with a Turk lokfast guard. Turck sensors with potted-in cable for use with conduit are also FM approved for these locations.
Intrinsically safe pressure sensor
09 June, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
The PT4400 pressure sensor series is designed for intrinsically safe locations. The series utilises a media-isolated stainless steel diaphragm for use in pneumatics, water management, hydrogen storage, hydraulic systems, oil and gas, HVAC/R and industrial OEM equipment.
Modular RFID interface
09 June, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
The BL ident RFID product portfolio has been expanded with the release of a simple RFID (RFID-S) slice for its BL20 modular I/O system. Each RFID-S slice contains two channels of RFID. Additional RFID slices, as well as traditional discrete and analog I/O slices, may be added to the system, making it the only product on the market that allows this combination on the same node on the network, according to Turck.
S12 connectors
01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
The 4- and 5-wire S12 Quick-Connect connectors are designed to expedite installation and mate to any fully threaded M12 on the market, regardless of the manufacturer. These connectors employ advanced technology to simply attach to and detach from any M12 connection — and users can clearly hear and feel the click of the S12 Quick-Connect to know that it is fully attached. Using the S12 Quick-Connect provides a cost-effective method for component installation, including connecting numerous junction boxes where installation time can be reduced by 85%.
Profinet cordsets
01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced a 4-wire Profinet cordset line that has been developed to provide plug-and-play connectivity for applications using Profinet protocols. Profinet, the fastest industrial ethernet I/O network, is compatible with existing fieldbus systems and the only network that can accomplish a line topology — especially suitable for long conveyor systems. These cordsets connect to Turck’s BL67 ethernet gateways for Profinet — which can be connected to up to 32 I/O modules per gateway — to allow smooth integration into current fieldbus structures.
Compact ultrasonic sensor
01 April, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
Turck has introduced an ultrasonic sensor in a compact Q12 style housing that achieves a 40 cm sensing range with a small 2.5 cm blind zone. The small profile of the sensor allows it to be mounted in narrow spaces, like those found in packaging applications.
Capacitive sensor
14 March, 2009 | Turck Australia Pty Ltd
The BCF10 capacitive sensor’s small size makes it more flexible for mounting in level applications and it has the ability to detect liquids with high concentrations of chlorides, such as soaps and cleaners. Turck’s noise immunity technology has been retooled for a flat pack housing.
