The accurate all-rounder
Whether your application is position detection, distance measurement, or the detection of solid, powder, or liquid media: BUS ultrasonic sensors are precise all-rounders.
They measure fill levels, heights and sag without making contact as well as count and monitor the presence of objects. Regardless of the colour, transparency, and surface texture, they always perform really well. Fog, dust and impurities are also not a problem for them.
Their detection range is between 25 mm and 6 m, so larger object gaps are no problem. Their high resolution and small blind zones ensure top precision.
Ultrasound sensors from Balluff differ in their output signals. By means of a switching version and an analogue version, they are able to both reliably detect and count objects as well as determine distances with extreme precision. This guarantees a wide range of applications.
A further benefit: Our ultrasonic sensors have different output functions and can be used as NC or NO sensors.
The most important benefits
- Contactless detection
- Reliable in critical environmental conditions such as fog, dust and impurities
- Irrespective of color, transparency, reflection properties and surface finish on the object
- Precise recognition of even smaller objects
- Rectangular and cylindrical heads allow for greater freedom of design
