Added to Your Cart:
These ultrasonic sensors evaluate the sound reflected from the object. They are capable of detecting almost any object, regardless of material and condition. As such, they are especially well suited for monitoring fill levels of liquids and bulk goods and for detecting transparent objects. The measured value can be read out via IO-Link, and the sensor can be adapted as needed to the application. The sensor can be used in reflex mode operation and as an ultrasonic through-beam sensor.
