Ultrasonic Sensors

Cylindrical Ultrasonic Sensors

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.
