Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors operate by emitting ultrasonic pulses in a cone-shaped beam towards a target object. The sensor then measures the time delay between the emitted pulse and the echo pulse reflected back from the target to determine the distance to the target. Honeywell offers several families of ultrasonic sensors with different features. The 945 family can detect targets made of any material regardless of color, while the 940 family is suitable for longer detection ranges or difficult applications. The 942 family offers high flexibility with multiple output options and programmability.

Proximity Sensors

Ultrasonic Product Selection Guide

OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Ultrasonic sensors have an acoustic transducer which is vibrating at
ultrasonic frequencies. The pulses are emitted in a cone-shaped
beam and aimed at a target object. Pulses reflected by the target to
the sensor are detected as echoes. The device measures the time
delay between each emitted and echo pulse to accurately determine the sensor-to-target distance.

All materials sensing Ultrasonic Position Sensors solve the toughest


sensing problems and detect targets made of virtually any material,
regardless of color. They detect clear, transparent and shiny targets
as easily as dark and opaque materials. This ability allows ultrasonic
sensors to detect materials ranging from clear glass bottles to black
rubber tires. In a shrink wrapping operation, for instance, the sensor
can accurately and repeatedly detect the wrapping material regardless of how shiny or clear it may be. Ultrasonic sensors also work
well in tough environments fumes, dust, noisy.
