mechanical stress and electrical
interference typically encountered
in the automotive industry.

system availability, innovative concepts,

comprehensive made-to-measure solutions, and a product range optimally adapted to the special needs of the automotive
industry, all of these factors leave nothing
to be desired.

When it comes to the test, TURCK and

BANNER are way out in front. There are
numerous good reasons why so many
global players in the automotive industry
rely on our products and system solutions. Our consistent focus on quality and
wide experience in solving the most
exacting applications, coupled with our
long-standing co-operation with the
major automotive manufacturers, ensures
that we continue to set standards in this
sector. Robust and absolutely dependable technologies guaranteeing excellent

MICRO-SCREENTM, a miniature light

screen system, is particularly suited to
limited space applications, e.g. smaller
production machinery, and fulfils category 4 safety requirements.
The entire range of TURCKs pluggable
fieldbus components achieves protection to IP67 and excels in versatility. All
devices are fully epoxy encapsulated
and thus attain these high protection
ratings. The connectors come in various
cable jacket materials some of which
are irradiated and resistant to weld
splatter. In line with its true global policy,
TURCK connection products fulfil all relevant international standards.
TURCK and BANNER: NON-STOP
QUALITY.

Inductive uprox sensors detect all metals,

including aluminium, at the same distance
with the highest precision and provide optimum magnetic field immunity.
Part sensing light screens, type PVA, monitor
and control sequential manual assembly
operations, thus facilitating job training and
reducing re-work costs.

EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL

AT ALL TIMES
Advanced measurement and inspection technology in product transport, handling and logistics leads
to reduced system down-times
through reliable status monitoring.
Dont take for granted, double-check
instead! This is especially true for automated production processes. TURCK
and BANNER offer a versatile choice of
easy to mount, space-saving standard
sensors for all branches of industry. More
complex sensing tasks such as on-thefly product sizing and profiling are accurately and safely accomplished with
measuring light screens by BANNER.
The photoelectric sensor QS18 combines the advantages of threaded barrel
and rectangular sensors. A convincing
design, incorporating a compact housing and a large sensing range.
Inductive Q-Pak sensors are extremely
efficient, provide especially large switching distances and are easy-to-mount.
Their compact, slim profile is ideally
suited to applications where space is
limited.

The magnet-inductive sensor BIM-INT

etects piston positions in pneumatic
T-groove cylinders and mounts conveniently from the top into the groove.
MINI-ARRAYTM, an extremely flexible
measuring light screen, is designed
for product inspection and profiling
in conveyor applications.

The rotational speed monitor MK21

is a compact and versatile module.
It is freely programmable and equipped
with a digital display.
Our fieldbus system piconet, is, as
its name suggests, extremely compact
and compatible with PROFIBUS-DP,
DeviceNet, INTERBUS, ControlNet and
Ethernet.
TURCK and BANNER: always on
course to success.

SMALL IN SIZE
BIG ON PRECISION
Major companies in the semi-conductor industry place confidence
in the innovative developments and
the capabilities of TURCK and
BANNER.
Today, technological progress is closely
associated with miniaturisation. Production
processes are especially demanding due
to minute components and close tolerances. Production is inconceivable without the use of particularly compact,
chemically resistant and extremely precise sensors.
TURCK and BANNER offer a comprehensive range of sensors and components of
outstanding quality:

The capacitive sensor BC10-KT offers,

in spite of its compact size, a large
switching distance and an extremely
resistant Teflon housing.
Additionally, TURCK and BANNER offer
an extensive range of glass and plastic
fibre optics, also for limited space and
corrosive environments.
The revolutionary PresencePLUS
pixel-counting sensor is based on
advanced camera technology and is
designed to detect faulty components.
The performance of this globally unrivalled BANNER system exceeds that
of standard photoelectric sensors and
at a much more competitive price than
image processing systems.
TURCK and BANNER: reliable
partners for the most complex
production processes.

Another highlight in TURCKs product

portfolio is the extensive line of miniature piconet fieldbus modules, incorporating an open solution for all important fieldbus protocols.
In the manufacture of micro-electronics,
photoelectric and laser sensors must
be capable of sensing small objects at
a large distance. PicoDot, the convergent mode laser sensor, generates
a light spot of only 0.25 mm at a focal
distance of 100 mm.

ABSOLUTELY SAFE
ALWAYS RELIABLE
In the process industry, solutions
by TURCK and BANNER are the
ideal choice make no mistake!
The specific conditions of the process
industry entail high demands on safety
and technology, particularly if hazardous
area applications are involved.
An example of such devices is our
intrinsically safe inductive dual sensor
for position detection in actuators.
There are special versions with terminal
chamber and valve control functionality
designed specifically for the chemical
industry.
The multimodul family includes a versatile range of Ex interface modules, such
as isolating amplifiers with HART capability and isolating transducers. The
new housing style with removable terminal blocks features two channels at
a width of only 18 mm.
busstop fieldbus components for process
automation based on FOUNDATIONTM
fieldbus feature a practical plug-in
mechanism and provide IP67 protection
rating. They are securely protected
against electro-magnetic interferences.

The extensive range of flow controls

allows selection of the right device,
even for highly specific applications.
Flow controls by TURCK offer outstanding performance with convenient
adjustments via potentiometers and
a stable switch point even during
temperature fluctuations.
excom is an extremely compact,
modular remote I/O system for explosion
hazardous areas. This innovative development is suited for use in zone 1.

Future-oriented solutions for

process optimization.

EXCELLENT HYGIENE
OPTIMUM SAFETY
TURCK and BANNER offer madeto-measure solutions for the food
industry by providing a range of
innovative products that meet the
highest quality standards.
Hygiene and safety are the two fundamental requirements associated with the
manufacture of food products. The food
industry focuses on these elements in
order to produce safe and healthy foods.
A pre-requisite of all system components
used in the manufacture of food products

must be their ability to resist the frequent

and quite often aggressive cleaning
processes.
The capacitive sensor QF5,5 was developed especially for level and flow rate
control and is ideally suited for mounting directly onto pipes due to its extremely flat housing. It resists hostile environments and has two highly visible
LEDs for enhanced control. Injection
moulding technology makes this sensor
fully impermeable.
BANNER's photoelectric sensor family
EASY-BEAMTM with its IP67 protection
class is highly resistant to the ingress of
moisture. These sensors combine a
small housing with very large sensing
ranges.
TURCK and BANNER: technology in
its purest form.

TURCK offers stainless components

for different fieldbus systems. These
components are adapted perfectly
to harsh industrial environments and
guarantee the highest level of hygiene in the production process.
Utrasonic sensors, series T3O, are
especially suited to the needs of the
food industry by their compact housing design and simple push button
programming technology.
