Products & services
Clean-Line
The Turck Clean-Line has been specifically developed for use in the most demanding environments of the food and pharmaceutical industries, where the highest hygiene requirements apply. Its design with translucent plastic enables an exceptionally sealed, consistently smooth and easy-to-clean surface, while also offering high chemical resistance in accordance with Ecolab standards. - Chemical resistance for the food industry (Ecolab) - Easy-to-clean, hygienic design - Protection ratings IP65, IP67, IP68, IP69K - Highly convenient and straightforward IO-Link integration and configuration - Field Logic Controller for decentralised control and programming capabilities
AI Camera TIV (Turck Intelligent Vision)
The AI-based Turck Intelligent Vision (TIV) camera learns from images instead of requiring complex programming, reliably detecting patterns, differences, good and defective parts, as well as various object classes. It operates robustly under varying lighting and positional conditions and delivers precise results. Commissioning is quick and requires no expert knowledge. As an all-in-one solution, the TIV processes data directly on the device, without additional hardware or ongoing costs. This enables efficient and flexible quality inspection. - Quick commissioning without programming - Stand-alone solution with IP67 protection rating, no additional edge hardware required - Real-time results, scalable through transferable networks - One-off investment – no ongoing software licence costs
Signalling and Lighting
Colour-coded signalling and high-quality lighting play an increasingly important role in providing simple and clear visualisation of machine states and processes. Bachofen supports you in selecting the most suitable solution. - Application-specific configurable colour indicators - Configuration via software or IO-Link - Clear signalling through well-designed concepts and good visibility in daylight - Vibration-resistant and durable; no protective housing required in harsh environments
Pick-and-Place Robot PPR
The Pick-and-Place Robot PPR is a compact assembly automation system for the fast and precise handling of sensitive components, for example in electronics manufacturing. It combines basic motion axes with integrated sensors such as force measurement, pneumatics and control technology to ensure safe pick-up and placement of delicate workpieces. The patent-pending PPR captures and analyses process and sensor data in real time, optimising cycle times and placement forces. This results in stable, highly dynamic processes with minimal development effort. - Reduced workpiece damage, shorter cycle times, integrated process control - PPR as an all-in-one model with integrated drive, sensors, pneumatics and control module - THK's sensor technology detects even the smallest forces as soon as the workpiece comes into contact with the suction nozzle: a highly precise force sensor measures minimal contact forces during placement (resolution down to 0.01 N) - A force resolution of up to 0.01 N enables throughput rates of up to 9,000 workpieces per hour per module
4-Axis SCARA Robot
The DENSO HSR series represents the highest levels of speed and precision in compact automation applications. With cycle times from 0.29 seconds and high repeatability, it is ideally suited for pick-and-place tasks. Thanks to its low weight, integrated vibration damping, thermal compensation, protection ratings up to IP67, and cleanroom suitability (ISO Class 3/5), it enables reliable operation and straightforward integration into high-throughput production lines. - Leading technology in the field of 4- to 6-axis industrial robots - Collaborative robots with high productivity, safe and fast at the same time thanks to scene function - High quality standards for long service life and low maintenance requirements
Web Panel and Panel PC
High-quality products designed for use in demanding industrial environments. Our IPC devices offer the right performance and high reliability at competitive prices, giving you a decisive advantage in the market. The Web Panels and powerful Panel PCs can be customised even in small batch sizes, helping to strengthen your brand and increase recognition value. - Excellent price-performance ratio - Display sizes from 10.1" to 23.8" - PCAP, resistive touch or no touch functionality - Various housing designs for an optimal appearance
Cybersecurity / OT Security
Is your OT environment as secure as you think? Industrial environments face cybersecurity challenges that differ fundamentally from those of traditional IT. Legacy systems, long asset lifecycles and the need for continuous availability create a particularly vulnerable attack surface—one that must now be addressed in accordance with regulations such as NIS2 and IEC 62443. The OT cybersecurity assessment from HMS Networks provides clear answers, while Bachofen offers suitable solution approaches. - How secure is our OT environment today? - Where are our greatest risks? - Which improvements should we prioritise first?
