SubscribeUltrasonic sensors present the ideal solution for non-contact position and distance measurement in all industrial areas where environmental conditions such as dust, smoke or steam may effect the sensors.
Objects consisting of a variety of materials can be detected regardless of colour or shape to within millimetres.
The sensor uses very high frequencies that are outside of the human's audible range, as a data carrier. The time it takes the ultrasonic wave to pass between the sensor and the object is the value for the distance or the position. Ultrasonic sensors have proven their reliability and precision especially in the wood and furniture industry, the construction materials industry, farming equipment, construction equipment and in level control applications.
Pepperl+Fuchs' ultrasonic sensors currently encompass 8 series of mechanical designs for through-beam, direct detection and reflex operation with more than 40 designs and models.
Customer and application specific custom solutions underscore our technological competence in this area of sensors
- Devices with TEACH-IN function for fast and simple installation.
- The ULTRA 2001 service program for improved adaptation of sensors to applications (for devices with RS 232 interfaces)
- Temperature compensation equalises deviations in sound velocity due to varying air temperatures
- Synchronisation input to prevent cross-talk interference when sensors are mounted within close proximity of each other.
- Sensors with digital and/or analogue outputs
