Turck Inc.
US subsidiary of Hans Turck GmbH supplying inductive sensors, IO-Link masters, RFID, and fieldbus connectivity for factory and process automation.
Turck Inc. is the North American subsidiary of Hans Turck GmbH & Co. KG, a German automation technology company headquartered in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. The US entity markets and supports Turck's full product range for factory and process automation customers across the Americas, reachable at +1 800-544-7769.
Turck's core product portfolio covers four interconnected domains. In sensing technology, the company manufactures inductive proximity sensors (using its proprietary Bi-directional Field Effect technology for extended sensing ranges), capacitive sensors for liquid-level and bulk-material detection, photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic sensors, pressure sensors, and flow sensors. In connectivity and fieldbus technology, Turck supplies PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and Modbus TCP interface modules alongside M8, M12, and 7/8-inch cordsets and field-wireable connectors that are widely specified in robotic workcells and automated assembly lines.
IO-Link is a central technology pillar: Turck produces IO-Link masters in block, modular, and cabinet versions that convert IO-Link device data to standard industrial Ethernet protocols, enabling predictive maintenance and condition monitoring at the sensor level. In RFID and identification, the company offers HF (13.56 MHz) and UHF (860–960 MHz) read/write heads, tags, and controllers compliant with ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-63, used for tool identification, work-in-process tracking, and parts traceability in robotic manufacturing cells.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI) products include industrial touchscreen panels and the ARGEE programmable logic platform embedded in Turck's multiprotocol I/O hubs. The TURCK CONNECT online portal provides configuration, ordering, and EPLAN data download services.
Turck sensors and IO systems are used extensively in automotive body-shop robotics, welding cell monitoring, conveyor control, intralogistics, and food and beverage processing. The parent company Hans Turck GmbH was founded in 1965; the US subsidiary has operated for several decades and covers the American market through a distributor and sales-rep network with a toll-free support line at 800-544-7769.
