The UTR series cylindrical ultrasonic sensors can detect and measure distance of objects by emitting and receiving high frequency sound waves and measuring the time lapse in between. Ultrasonic sensing method allows detection of various material and surface types with a maximum detection distance of up to 8 m. The sensors also offer temperature tracking algorithm, detection width conversion, and other various functions to provide accurate and precise measurement. Ultrasonic sensors can be used in various applications including presence detection and liquid/solid/powder level measurement.
The UTR series can detect various materials including transparent or metallic objects, powder, or liquid, regardless of color, pattern, texture, or luster of the surfaces. Ultrasonic sensors can also be used to measure distance of target objects.
Accurate Detection and Precise Measurement
Ultrasonic waves are sensitive to air temperature since it uses air as a medium. The UTR series features temperature tracking algorithm for stable and accurate detection, and offers precise measurement by removing noise and disturbance.
Long Sensing Distance up to 8 m
The UTR series can detect objects up to 8 m, and can also be used in difficult environments such as high temperatures
Various Functions for Optimal Detection
The UTR series provides various functions for optimal detection including detection width conversion, temperature compensation, and measurement filter. Users can set functions with atDistance software and several functions are available with UT-P ultrasonic sensor programming units.
Detection Width Conversion Function
Users can set detection width to narrow, medium, or wide depending on detection environments.
Teaching Function
Users can set parameters and functions with current distance value using the teaching function.
Measurement Filter Function
Users can avoid unwanted measurements with the foreground filter, moving average filter, foreground + moving average filter, background + moving average filter. The strength of each filter can be adjusted depending on user requirements.
Foreground Suppression Function
Users can expand the area from which output can be excluded.
Temperature Compensation (Auto/Manual)
Users can minimize errors in actual measurement values in different environments.
Synchronization Function
Users can measure wider areas by increasing detection width using multiple sensors simultaneously. (up to 10 sensors)
Multiplex Function
Users can prevent the mutual influence of multiple sensors and designate the order among each sensor. (up to 10 sensors).
