Sectors and application areas
packaging industry
High standards for process safety combined with maximum flexibility for the detection of various packaging materials and shapes
- Increase plant availability and master variant diversity: Ultrasonic sensors detect objects regardless of material, color, transparency, and gloss, as well as surface properties. The parameter server function and fast parameterization via the IO-Link interface allow simple and fast format changes.
- Save development time and costs: Fast design-in of the ultrasonic sensors thanks to a very short blind region with a long-range, small design, and standard hole spacing.
Electronics industry
Differently perforated and glossy surfaces with narrow space requirements for sensors
- Save development time and costs: Fast design-in of the ultrasonic sensors thanks to a very short blind region with a long-range, small design, and standard hole spacing.
- Maximize plant availability: Ultrasonic sensors detect objects regardless of material, color, transparency, and gloss, as well as surface properties.
- Increase throughput: Short response times and high repeatability enable maximum throughput.
Feeding technology
Wide variety of object geometries and surfaces with narrow space requirements for sensors
- Highest process safety: Safe object detection independent of the object. Not affected by dust, light, or moisture.
- Save development time and costs: Thanks to integrated adjustment and filter options, various application requirements can be optimally met with one sensor type. This reduces the variety of sensors and thus warehousing costs.

Technology
Functionality of ultrasonic sensors
The distance measurement is based on a time-of-flight measurement. The sensor calculates the time between sending and receiving the reflected sound signal.
Advantage: Immunity to moisture, light, steam, or object color
