Distance measurement is a crucial element in numerous industrial applications – from automation to medical technology and robotics. Modern ultrasonic transducers and sensors enable the precise detection of distances – contactless, reliable and independent of lighting conditions or surface properties.
The proven pulse-echo principle forms the basis of many distance measurement solutions. An ultrasonic transducer emits sound pulses that are reflected by an object. The transit time of the signal from emission to arrival of the echo provides precise information about the distance – even with difficult surfaces, transparent materials or dust and fog in the environment.
The advantages of ultrasonic distance measurement are obvious: it is robust, contactless and maintenance-free. It also works in environments where other sensor technologies reach their limits. In addition, the transducers can be integrated into almost any industrial application – ideal for flexible industrial applications.
SECO Sensor develops proven, high-quality ultrasonic transducers that are specially designed for use in distance measurement. With high repeat accuracy, a long service life and maintenance-free operation, they ensure reliable measurement results – even under demanding conditions.
Whether for object positioning, collision avoidance or distance control: sensor-based distance measurement is the key to efficient, safe and automated processes in the industry of today and tomorrow.
