| Complete Suppliers for the Field Level |
|
Over its forty year history TURCK has expanded its sensor operations and is now a complete supplier for the field level. |
The company set another milestone with its new RFID system.
etz spoke to Christian Wolf, executive vice-president at TURCK, about the reasons for this corporate strategy and about the latest product developments.
etz: Mr Wolf, what is TURCK's current position on the market?
C. Wolf: We are complete suppliers of automation components for the entire field of industrial automation below the control level.
etz: “complete supplier” is currently a very much used term in the automation sector. What does it mean for TURCK?!
C. Wolf: Our product portfolio is made up of sensors, interface and connection technology, as well as fieldbus components. The sensor types range from sensors for length, angle and distance measurement to devices for monitoring pressure, temperature, level and flow rate. Our interface technology covers devices for isolating, converting, processing, transforming and adapting analog and binary signals. And on the field level we offer a complete range of products for all commonly available industrial fieldbus systems – from the sensor, actuator or bus cable to I/O modules and gateways for bus systems such as Profibus DP or Ethernet.
Last but not least is the connection technology, which is also a very important product area for us. Just last year we increased our sales cooperation with Escha, who have transferred the sale of their standard connectors to us in order to concentrate on their own activities in the field of custom solutions, whilst continuing with development and manufacturing. We actually sell M8, M12, M16, M23, 7/8 connectors and connection cables. In addition to this we sell valve connectors in different sizes, as well as actuator/sensor junctions...
