About Microsonic

Microsonic is a manufacturer of ultra-sonic sensors.  Ultra-sonic sensors sense all colors equally well, operate reliably in dirty/dusty environments, have a comparatively wide viewing angle, and hold their window limits quite precisely.

Microsonic sensors are primarily offered in proximity modes, with a few also offered as through-beam models.  Microsonic proximity sensors confirm product presence by return echos from the product itself.  The range of the proximity sensors is from a few inches to 26 feet.  Microsonic has proximity sensors with switched/discrete output, and those with analog output.  Typical applications for proximity mode are product presence, product counting, level control, roll diameter, and web-loop control.  Depending on the application, Microsonic proximity mode can be used for product orientation or product inspection.  Microsonic offers field-configurability in some of their products, which allows the user to access the internal software to alter the sensor functionality to optimize if for the application need.  One of the Microsonics Series has a built-in LED display of the information that is provided, plus both analog and discrete outputs, all in a single, 30 mm tubular product.

Microsonic through-beam models consist of a separate sender and a separate receiver.  Objects are sensed by blocking the beam from reaching the receiver.  Through beam sensing via Microsonics offers the benefits of object sensing independent of distance, incident angle, and clarity.  It is particularly suitable for the most contaminated environments.
