Hyde Park ultrasonics began in 1958 in Dayton, Ohio. It was a family-owned company, whose principal focus was always the manufacture of an extensive selection of the highest quality, ultrasonic sensors. The first product from Hyde Park was fully-featured, and thus multi-functional. This product was designed to operate in the proximity mode, and due to its features, provided a wide breath of functionality in any single model. This diversity of functionality in any single model translated to be able suit variations in customer applications.
Ultimately, Hyde Park introduced numerous other products, offered in proximity mode as well as through-beam mode. More recently, the Hyde Park product offerings were expanded to include less-featured, lower-cost models with limited variability in functionality in any given model.
In approximately 2004, Schneider Electric purchased Hyde Park ultrasonics. Schneider Electric offers an extremely broad line of products, of nearly any based technology. Schneider Electric global sensor brand is Telemecanique. Over time, Schneider Electric is replacing the Hyde Park brand name, with their global sensor brand name, Telemecanique. Most importantly, this transition is a brand name change, with no change in the original Hyde Park products itself. To this day, all Hyde Park models are still offered as they were initially designed and marketed, under the Telemecanique name brand.
Schneider Electric has invested significantly in recent years to improve the general product availability, and most recently, to upgrade the existing product to improved levels of performance and field configurability, retaining Hyde Park advantage of multi-functionality in any single, given model.
