• Integration into compact fixtures, handling, and packaging systems

TURCK’s RU-M18 and RU-M30 ultrasonic sensors reliably handle standard applications in machines and systems. These proven designs are suitable for distance measurement, presence detection, position detection, and level sensing tasks. They operate independently of color, transparency, or material and deliver stable signals even with changing target objects. Digital and analog versions, as well as IO-Link devices, facilitate integration into various control concepts and automation solutions.

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited? 

• Standard distance measurement in mechanical engineering and material handling
• Presence detection for moving objects
• Level measurement and position detection in plants and packaging processes

TURCK’s RU-EMT18/3GD ultrasonic sensors are designed for demanding environmental conditions and provide reliable detection in situations where optical methods are limited by dust, dirt, steam, or changing lighting conditions. The robust ultrasonic technology measures without contact and is material-independent. Users benefit from stable switching or measured values, high process reliability, and a durable solution for industrial detection tasks with increased requirements. These include a chemically resistant front panel or Ex approval for use in the Ex area.

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited? 

• Object detection and distance measurement in harsh industrial environments
• Applications involving dust, dirt, or corrosive media
• Process-related detection tasks with demanding environmental requirements

TURCK’s RU-M18MS/M18ES ultrasonic sensors in custom designs expand the standard portfolio to include solutions for specific mounting, space, or alignment requirements. They enable noncontact object and distance detection when conventional threaded-tube sensors do not provide an optimal mechanical fit. This makes them particularly suitable for special-purpose machines, OEM applications, and application-specific designs. Users benefit from greater design flexibility and reliable detection of difficult-to-detect targets.

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited? 

• Custom machines with specific assembly or installation space requirements
• Object detection with a specific sensor position or orientation
• OEM applications where standard designs do not fit mechanically
