Miniaturized ultrasonic sensors

Optimal sensor setting to the individual application

• Enhanced functions and filters such as sonic cone adjustment, moving-average filter, or disruption filter allow quick and easy optimization of the sensor performance
• High plant effectiveness and reliability thanks to easy optimization of the sensor to the individual application requirements

Efficient integration and additional data via the IO-Link interface

• Efficient integration into the automation systems via the standardized IO-Link interface
• On-the-fly-parameterization via the IO-Link allows flexible production lines
• Additional diagnosis data, such as device temperature or number of switching processes, as the basis for predictive maintenance
   

Highest performance with the most compact design 

• Best-in-class measurement range with a blind zone of 15 mm for a measuring distance up to 500 mm
• Compact, space-saving design with standard hole spacing allows flexible integration of the sensor into the machine

The setting and filter options integrated in the sensor allow the sensor to be set optimally to the application via the IO-Link interface. Find out more in the video.

The integrated settings and filters allow the ultrasonic sensors to be optimally adjusted to the application. This not only reduces the variant diversity but also ensures an even more reliable solution. The video shows the following examples:

• The flexibly adjustable sound cone for a stable measurement
• The reliable double sheet detector
• The interrupt filter using the example of a clock unit

• Reliable crack detection of a wide variety of films regardless of their optical properties
• Barrier principle for fast detection of even the smallest cracks

• Reliable detection of a great variety of surface structures, colors, and transparent PCBs
• Quick response times for high throughput
• Shortest blind region and compact design for unimpeded design-in

• Detection of a great variety of materials with different geometries
• Flexible sound beam adjustment for optimal sensor setting to the application

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
