Ultrasonic sensors
Ultrasonic sensors emit sound pulses and evaluate the returning echo to detect objects or measure distance. Applications include positioning, liquid and bulk-solid level monitoring, and material loop control. They can detect metallic, non-metallic or transparent targets when target geometry and surface properties provide a sufficient echo. Selection considers measuring range, blind zone, beam angle, temperature and mounting position. Switching, analogue or IO-Link outputs are chosen according to the required detection or measurement function.

IN PRACTICE
Typical applications
Tank level
Measuring liquid level.
Package height
Dimensional checking on conveyors.
Roll monitoring
Measuring the diameter of material rolls.
Transparent object presence
Detecting objects independently of their colour.
Filling monitoring
Monitoring level in open containers.
Vehicle detection for automatic barrier control
The ultrasonic sensor detects vehicle presence and signals the barrier controller to inhibit closing while the vehicle remains within the configured detection zone.
