Applications
Ultrasonic level measurement

Ultrasonic level measurement

Ultrasonic sensors are predestined for monitoring the fill level of liquids, granules and bulk material.

Diameter control – Diameter control with simple parameterization by teach-by-value – Determination of roll diameters

Determination of roll diameters

During winding and unwinding operations, distance-measuring ultrasonic sensors precisely measure the outer diameter of rolls with materials such as plastic foil, sheet metal, paper and cardboard, veneer, etc.

Height measurement

Height measurement

The distance to objects can be measured reliably regardless of reflectance, transparency or color of the surface with ultrasonic sensors.

Technology
Ultrasonic proximity switches – Functionality of ultrasonic sensors

Functionality of ultrasonic sensors

The distance measurement is based on a time-of-flight measurement. The sensor calculates the time between sending and receiving the reflected sound signal.
Advantage: Immunity to moisture, light, steam or object color
