MINNEAPOLIS, MN (Nov. 3, 2016) - To help engineers improve sensor operations in unique applications, Turck introduces six line extensions to its ultrasonic sensor offerings. These new products expand the breadth of Turcks solutions to build a more comprehensive ultrasonic sensor portfolio for its customers.
Ultrasonic sensors are ideal in applications with demanding requirements, such as long sensing ranges, non-metallic, irregularly shaped or transparent targets, wide sensing areas and when dust or oil films are present. Featuring advanced technology, Turcks ultrasonic sensors address these challenges to deliver dependable object detection.
Turcks new ultrasonic sensors are available in a variety of housing styles with multiple feature sets to solve difficult applications. Specific new releases include:
• M30 barrel sensors with 6-meter sensing range: These 30 mm barrels offer either a single digital output, dual digital outputs, or a digital output and analog output. The digital and analog output version offers IO-Link capabilities to make parameterization, diagnostics and replacement easy.
• CP40 and CK40 sensors with new housing: The rectangular packages of the CP40 and CK40 product families offer sensing ranges up to 2 meters with either a single digital output or a digital and analog output. Highly visible LEDs and sealed programming buttons simplify monitoring.
• ATEX/IECEx-approved sensors: With ATEX/IECEx, II 3 G approvals, these stainless steel barrel sensors are ideal for use in hazardous locations. Teach by wire, teach by button and teach via IO-Link capabilities are standard on these products.
"These feature sets, along with extremely short blind zones and rugged housing designs, allow Turck sensors to work where others will not," said Rich Tallant, sensors product manager for Turck. "Many of these sensors are designed with compact housings, and our new ATEX/IECEx-approved sensors are ideal for use in hazardous locations. With these line extensions, customers have more reliable solutions for challenging sensor applications."
Additional line extensions include compact sensors with NPN output, compact sensors for retro-reflective applications, and 18 mm barrel sensors with side-sensing transducer.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
