Your Global Automation Partner
Vehicles with alternative drive types are revolutionizing global mobility â Turck automates their production
Battery-powered electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and fuel cell vehicles (New Energy Vehicles or NEV for short) are bringing about a profound change in the automotive industry. With customization, lightweight construction and modularization also becoming important topics, this new reality requires flexible production concepts and smart automation.
For over 50 years, Turck has been driving innovation in automation, also in automotive production. We know the standards and the unwritten rules of this industry. Our Project Management team always has everything under control. Our Sales department knows the automotive world, knows the pain points and always follows the best decision-making paths.
Automotive 4.0 poses a number of challenges to manufacturers and suppliers. Overcome these challenges with a partner who has been shaping the automation of automotive production for many decades. We have always found creative solutions for the automation of the future.
Smart Production for any Platform
As an OEM or Tier X supplier, you are always in safe hands with a partner whose solutions can be found in all sectors of the automotive industry worldwide â from conventional combustion engines to hydrogen and electric drives.
Conventional Platform
The classic platform is designed for internal combustion engines including the exhaust system. These platforms can also accommodate electric drives but the architecture remains unchanged. Many automation solutions for classic combustion engines can be transferred to alternative drive concepts.
Multi-Energy Platform
These platforms are designed to accommodate both conventional combustion drives as well as hybrid, electric or hydrogen drives. The production system must be able to cover the different drive types while still maintaining efficiency and availability.
Battery-Powered Vehicles
These platforms are specifically tailored to the requirements of battery-powered vehicles. Skateboard architecture allows large battery packs to be installed in the underbody and increases the available space while the external dimensions remain the same. Turck also provides specialized solutions for manufacturing batteries.
Turck Knows the Automotive World!
Whether in sales, project management, support, development or production: we have experts who speak your language all over the world.

With products at all levels of the automation matrix, we are able to design holistic solutions. Open standards, scalable systems and data access down to the smallest sensor bring transparency and intelligence to your production â cyber-secure even across boundaries between shops and companies.
Products That Bring Performance to the Road
Condition Monitoring
Condition monitoring sensors detect critical environmental conditions, such as humidity, temperature, and vibrations. And the devices from the CCM product series evaluate the data, using the customer's own programming if required.
Complete M12 Power Portfolio
Our I/O modules for Ethernet (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, EtherCAT) are equipped with M12 Power supply units as standard. They round off our M12 Power range of junction boxes, connection cables and IP67 power supplies.
Edge Controller and I/O Solutions
Turck provides one of the most diverse ranges of edge controllers, namely controllers with cloud connections, with or without displays. Our IP20 or IP67 I/O solutions also bring logic to the field, fully replacing the PLC or taking over some of its functionality.
RFID Readers, Read/Write Heads and Interfaces
Turck's identification systems offer suitable solutions to meet all performance, location and distance requirements. Few other automation partners can handle both production and logistics IDs equally well.
Safety Modules with Integrated Safety Controllers
IP67 block I/Os enable safety functions to be implemented without switch cabinets. Safety applications can be tested offline using their safety controller and controlled in a decentralized way during live operation.
Smart Sensors
Turck's inductive proximity switches are considered to be the de facto standard for bodywork construction in the automotive industry. Our encoders, photoelectric sensors and the Fluid+ series of sensors show that this good reputation is well-deserved.
