All-round talents. Most ultrasonic sensors are based on the principle of measuring the propagation time of sound in air. Packages of ultrasonic sound, so-called bursts, are emitted by the sensor, reflected by an object and received again by the sensor. The integraged transducers with sonic frequencies far beyond the range of human hearing, constantly switch to and fro between emission and reception. The returned echo signals are evaluated by the integrated electronics of the sensor. Depending on the sensor type, the information is provided at the output either as digital or analog signals. Unlike...

Miniature sensors – When space is scarce! In this age of automation, Baumer ultrasonic sensors are the answer to the continuing trend towards miniaturization and higher integration. This trend has led Baumer’s small and compact ultrasonic sensors, with their hardy performance, to enjoy a major focus of interest. There are four sensor types to provide this high performance: Ultrasonic proximity switches Ultrasonic retro-reflective sensors Ultrasonic through beam sensors Distance measuring ultrasonic sensors Though special emphasis was placed on the miniature design, there was no compromising on...

Liquid level detection Miniaturized ultrasonic sensors are ideally suited to measure liquid levels in small containers. The miniature housing design allows the installation of several sensors in close proximity. Height measurement Miniature ultrasonic sensors reliably measure the distance to the object, regardless of surface color, reflectivity or transparency. Detection into small openings Sensors equipped with special beam columnators facilitate the detection of objects and liquids through very small container openings.

Distance measuring sensors – Detecting more! Ultrasonic distance measuring sensors provide information on an absolute position of a target or moving object. For glossy surfaces, transparent objects or in environments with a high degree of dust and humidity, ultrasonic technologies are often the only alternative to mechanical probing. Applications for ultrasonic distance measuring sensors include level detection, stack height control as well as absolute position feedback. Baumer offers a broad selection of ultrasonic distance measuring sensors: Sensing distance up to 2500 mm High resolution up...

Distance detection With its small shape and low weight, the miniaturized ultrasonic sensors can also be installed in small microgrippers with limited space to accomodate ultrasonic sensors. Stacking level control Utrasonic sensors with analog outputs provide a distance proportional output signal highly independent of the target material encountered. The resolution is a uniform 0,3 mm even for the maximum scanning range of 2000 mm. Determination of roll diameter In winding and unwinding operations distance measuring ultrasonic sensors accurately measure the outer diameter of rolls containing materials...
