Suitable media for ultrasonic sensors
Ultrasonic sensors are applicable even for difficult environments. Distance to the object is determined via a sound transit time, ultrasonic sensors have excellent background suppression. The sensors are able to measure in dusty air or through paint spray mist.
Liquids:
-
Clear water, cloudy liquids, oils or black coffee. ultrasonic sensors can be used with nearly any liquid. The liquid surface should have no foam.
-
Thin deposits on the sensor membrane do not affect sensor function.
Colors:
- Do not affect Balluff ultrasonic sensors. BUS sensors reliably detect all colors.
Transparent layers:
-
Glass plates, plexiglas and razor thin foils …BUS ultrasonic sensors reliably detect transparent layers.
Surfaces of bulk materials:
- BUS reliably detect the fill-level of fine sand, shavings or coarse-grained materials.
Surfaces of bulk materials:
- BUS reliably detect the fill-level of fine sand, shavings or coarse-grained materials.
Material surfaces:
- Whether velvet, wool or leather …nearly all clothing materials can be reliably detected using BUS ultrasonic sensors.
