ucs ultrasonic sensors: optimum solutions for level measurement

microsonic is considered a specialist in the field of ultrasonic sensors in industrial automation technology. Since its founding in 1990 in Dortmund, microsonic’s staff, now consisting of more than 160 people, has enabled the company to continuously develop, manufacture and sell ever better ultrasonic sensors all over the world. microsonic ultrasonic sensors are part of printing presses, packaging machines, agricultural harvesting machinery and are used in the pharmaceutical industry as well as in many other applications.

The rotatable sensor head of the sensors permit their alignment in five radiation directions and enable ideal adaptation to different applications and installation conditions. Easy to integrate into mechanical engineering applications, the new cube ultrasonic sensors from microsonic are characterised by their flexibility and versatility. The rotatable sensor head of the sensors permit their alignment in five radiation directions and enable ideal adaptation to different applications and installation conditions. Its QuickLock mounting bracket enables the cube to be mounted quickly and easily. This enables sensor replacement without tools. The LED display on the sensor is clearly visible in all installation positions, enabling the user to keep the sensor status in view at all times. The cube sensors have a small cuboid installation dimension (40 mm x 40 mm x 40 mm). With three detection ranges, they cover a measurement range from 65 mm to 5 m. The fully equipped version is factory-set with a push-pull switching output and an analogue output. If required, the analogue output can be deactivated using LinkControl or IO-Link and a second switching

The new crm+ sensors are equipped with IO-Link version 1.1. More digital data for a better monitoring and control of your level measurements – even on aggressive media or in dusty areas. The new crm+ level sensors are equipped with IO-Link interface version 1.1. The IO-Link interface transfers measured distance values as well as identification, status and diagnosis values. It can easily be set with IO-Link maximum distances or switching points. The robust sensors cover a measuring range from 30 mm to 8 m with its five detections ranges. The additional digital display shows the measured value in mm/cm directly at the sensor. The Push-Pull switching output is used in standard-IO mode or switching output (pnp or npn). The crm+ sensors in M30 stainless steel housing detect continuously levels of liquids and all kinds of bulk materials that reflect sound. This enables non-contact level control regardless of color or transparency. Ultrasonic sensors do not have any problems with dust and fog in the measuring distance. The protective film of the crm+ sensors makes it easy to remove soiling, i.e. splashing during filling process. Additionally, level
