With the Banner-K100 series Turck offers configurable LED beacons with optimised visibility and an optional audible alarm

Turck has expanded its of portfolio of LED lights with the addition of the robust K100 series LED indicators. The 100 mm beacons were developed by Turck's partner Banner Engineering. They are available in two configurations.

 The Pro Daylight Visible beacon model offers 12 audible options and it offers extra bright indication in both indoor and outdoor environments. The model’s clear lens provides distinct indication, even in sunlight, avoiding false indications. It features three color options (green, yellow, and red) with multiple single and dual colour animations and can be used for operator guidance, status indication, and other functions.

The K100 Pro Indicator model has a diffused lens that appears white when inactive, thereby preventing false indication. It features 14 color options that can be used for status and indication applications. Animations include options such as flash, intensity sweep, and wave. Both beacon models can include an optional audible alarm and have an IP66 environmental rating for dust, rain, and snow.

The Banner K100 beacons from Turck are operated by discrete inputs. They are ideal for users who do not have IO-Link but who want the extra control and customisation capabilities to communicate information visually. Using Banner’s proprietary Pro Editor software the user can program device status, audible signals, colors, and animations.

The PC-based interface makes it easy to configure a beacon for a wide range of applications, such as displaying machine warm-up time, indicating unique steps in an assembly process and communicating multiple machine states.
