Ultraschallsensoren – die vielseitigste Objekterkennung

High standards for process safety combined with maximum flexibility for the detection of various packaging materials and shapes

• Increase plant availability and master variant diversity: Ultrasonic sensors detect objects regardless of material, color, transparency, and gloss, as well as surface properties. The parameter server function and fast parameterization via the IO-Link interface allow simple and fast format changes.
• Save development time and costs: Fast design-in of the ultrasonic sensors thanks to a very short blind region with a long range, small design, and standard hole spacing.

Differently perforated and glossy surfaces with narrow space requirements for sensors

• Save development time and costs: Fast design-in of the ultrasonic sensors thanks to a very short blind region with a long range, small design, and standard hole spacing.
• Maximize plant availability: Ultrasonic sensors detect objects regardless of material, color, transparency, and gloss, as well as surface properties.
• Increase throughput: Short response times and high repeatability enable maximum throughput.

Wide variety of object geometries and surfaces with narrow space requirements for sensors

• Highest process safety: Safe object detection independent of the object. Not affected by dust, light, or moisture.
• Save development time and costs: Thanks to integrated adjustment and filter options, various application requirements can be optimally met with one sensor type. This reduces the variety of sensors and thus warehousing costs.

Transmitter and receiver are integrated in one housing. The sensor switches as soon as the sonic signal is reflected back by an object within the adjusted sensing range (background suppression principle).

Advantage: simple installation, low cabling efforts

Transmitter and receiver are integrated in the same housing. The sensor detects the sound reflected by a fixed reflector. The sensor switches as an object interrupts the distance between sensor and reflector.

Advantage: Independent of object attributes, reliable signal even with extremely weak or diffuse reflective or sound-absorbing objects

Transmitter and receiver are mounted opposite each other in two housings. The sensor switches as soon as an object interrupts the sound waves.

Advantage: shortest response times of all ultrasonic sensor principles, longer ranges than in the size comparable retro-reflective sensors or proximity switches
