• in Ultrasonic Sensors

  Pepperl+Fuchs features through-beam, direct detection, separate evaluation, and double sheet ultrasonic sensors. These products can be used in any industrial area where environmental conditions such as dust, smoke, or steam may affect the sensor. Through-beam sensors feature long, one-way detection ranges between the transmitter and receiver, and short response times. Direct detection sensors come in both single and dual transducer systems that have a sensing range which depends on the reflectivity of the object, including surface properties and angle of incidence. Finally, sensors for separate evaluation use a separate panel mount controller as an interface between the transducer elements and the user system, while double-sheet sensors are used in the printing industry to measure sheet thickness, from paper (10 g/m²) to cardboard (2,000 g/m²)
