Inside Turck’s Sensor Technology — and How Lakeland Makes It Accessible

In industrial automation, accuracy and reliability start with the right sensors. Whether it’s detecting position, measuring levels, or monitoring flow, sensors are the eyes and ears of modern manufacturing systems. Choosing the right brand can mean the difference between downtime and smooth, efficient operations.

 

That’s why Turck has become a trusted name worldwide. Known for its innovation and durability, Turck offers a broad portfolio of sensors designed to handle even the most demanding environments. And at Lakeland Engineering, we make these solutions accessible by stocking and shipping Turck products directly from our Kansas City warehouse, ensuring fast delivery and dependable service.

Turck’s Most Popular Sensor Technologies

Inductive Sensors

  • What they do: Detect the presence of metallic objects without physical contact.

  • Why they matter: They’re highly reliable, immune to dust, dirt, and moisture, making them ideal for manufacturing lines and heavy industrial use.

  • Turck advantage: Turck’s patented uprox® technology allows for greater sensing distances and uniform detection across all metals—giving facilities more flexibility and fewer false triggers.

Capacitive Sensors

  • What they do: Detect both metallic and non-metallic materials, including plastics, glass, wood, and liquids.
  • Why they matter: Perfect for industries like food and beverage or packaging where varied materials are used.
  • Turck advantage: These sensors offer high sensitivity and stability, enabling accurate detection even through container walls or packaging materials.

Ultrasonic Sensors

  • What they do: Use sound waves to measure distances, detect objects, or monitor levels.
  • Why they matter: Essential in environments where optical or inductive sensors may fall short—like detecting transparent or reflective materials.
  • Turck advantage: Turck’s ultrasonic sensors deliver precise results in complex applications, offering versatility and adaptability for manufacturers.
