Ultrasonic sensors are used whenever optical systems reach their limits. Hence, partially and fully transparent or extremely dark objects can be detected just as easily as objects with reflecting surfaces or objects in dusty, vaporous or humid environments.

Advantages of Ultrasonic Sensor

• Detection nearly independent of object and surface
• Compact ultrasonic sensors and distance sensors in one series
• Maximum flexibility for any application thanks to adjustable sound cone (narrow, medium, wide)
• Monitoring of two positions or fill levels by means of two switching outputs
• Interfering objects can be suppressed via the IO-Link interface (interruption filter)
• High operating ranges (three ranges) and small dead zones
• Installation in constrained spaces thanks to small design
• Easy parameterization via teach button, IO-Link interface or teach input
