ROBUST ULTRASONIC SENSOR MEETS THE DEMANDS OF MOBILE MACHINERY
The increasing
demand for efficient and safe automated systems and machinery
is acknowledged by today's engineers and specifiers and applies
to just about every industry sector. This includes some of the
most demanding mobile machinery applications operating in construction,
agriculture, materials handling and logistics applications. To
meet these demands Sensor specialists BAUMER continues to develop
its range of market leading smart sensors including options that
withstand harsh outdoor conditions and are resilient to chemicals,
dust, extreme temperatures and wet environments.
The latest addition to the Baumer range of award winning sensors
is the UF401V an impressive, high-performing ultrasonic sensor
with proven impermeability exceeding IP68 / IP69K which Baumer
claim is unique for an ultrasonic sensor. Another indication
of the robustness and quality of the UF401V is that it's compliant
to industry standards such as; ISO14982, EN13309, ISO13766, ISO5003
and EN60947-5-2/-5-7.
This innovative sensor is ideally suited to the demands of machinery
operating in harsh outdoor conditions, for example; agricultural,
construction and other similar industries where working platforms
and mobile machinery is essential. The non-contact ultrasonic
sensing principle minimises any wear and tear issues to ensure
reliable operation at temperatures ranging from -25º to
70ºC.
This easily integrated sensor provides reliable positioning and
presence monitoring data, such as distance to ground, target
position and distance and object detection. Most importantly
the option of the smart UF401F is capable of suppressing the
transient effect of plants between itself and the targeted measurement
data. This eliminates the concerns about potential interruptions
in data collection whilst easing integration at control level.
The performance of the new UF401V sensor has been recognised
by a leading European journal OEM Off-Highway who selected the
sensor for a Top New Products Award, stating that it "represents
innovation and ingenuity in product design and development".
