The Nano Class – The Newest Ultrasonic Sensors from Microsonic Deliver Expectional Performance in an Ultra-compact Housing

Troy, Michigan (PRWEB) September 09, 2014

The demands placed by industry on sensors and their manufacturers are growing continuously and ultrasound technology provides solutions to meet these demands, for almost every conceivable application. As a leading manufacturer of ultrasonic sensor technology, and with patents pending on a number of special developments, this article looks at how challenging applications can be solved by microsonics industry-leading ultrasonic sensor technology.

The trend towards miniaturisation while delivering maximum sensor performance means great expectations are being placed on ultrasonic sensor manufacturers. Microsonic has risen to the challenge of manufacturing sensors to meet and exceed these demands. microsonic, the ultrasonic sensor specialist, has just launched its new nano class; building on the proven performance of their compact class. The new nano is the shortest M12 ultrasonic sensor on the market.

What is reflected is also detected!

In comparison to optical sensors (which detect light-reflecting/light-impenetrable objects) or inductive

sensors (which recognise only ferromagnetic metal components), ultrasonic sensors can be applied to applications with almost no restrictions. Ultrasonic sensors detect almost all sonically reflective materials without contact and can be used with almost every fluid, gas, film, material or coarse-grained parts, chippings, fine sand as well as the thinnest of cables. These sensors provide high measurement-precision in ranges of up to 15m. Even in dirty environments where sensors are subject to particulate matter in the air and disruptive extraneous light, ultrasonic sensors can detect the intended object. Sound-absorbent objects can be detected with a two-way ultrasonic barrier, using a fixed reflector.

The high sensitivity of the Nano ultrasonic sensor will allow for detection and measurement of almost every conceivable material and its robust construction makes these ultra-compact, ultrasonic sensors the ideal sensor for practically every industrial application.
