SIMATIC PXS sonar proximity switches from 2.5 cm to 10 m - they hear everything!

Sonar proximity switches SIMATIC PXS ensure non-contact sensing with millimeter precision in the range from 2.5 cm to 10 m. Principle : Sonar proximity switches transmit ultrasonic pulses; when reflected by objects or surfaces, the echoes can be received by the proximity switch and the distances calcu-lated and converted to an output signal.Sonar proximity switches feature large sensing distances up to 10 meters, high accuracy in the millimeter range, good repro-ducibility and require little maintenance.Sensing is not affected by dust and contamination common in harsh industrial environments. Liquids can be sensed with the same precision as solids, granulates or powders. Sonar proximity switches are suitable for a wide range of applications, such as level measurement, position detection, limit detection, thickness measurement and stack height measurement.
