Ultrasonic fork sensor with binary output

The specialist for ultrasonic sensors SNT Sensortechnik AG introduces an all new ultrasonic fork sensor series. It will be used when conventional optical fork sensors fail because of high pollution or transparent objects. The UPF-B fork sensor is compatible with optical fork sensors from point of view of installation as well as operation.

Transmitter and receiver are perfectly aligned. Mounting is therefore very easy. There is no mechanical misalignment possible after mounting. It is suitable for detecting parts or for edge detection, and has a switching speed of 500Hz which is very high for ultrasonic sensors. Thanks to the new transducer sealing made of Viton® the UPF-B sensors are very robust against many environmental influences. In particular, they are oil resistant, unlike many other ultrasonic sensors.

SNT Sensortechnik AG is a specialist in ultrasonic sensors for more than 20 years.
