Senix introduces ToughSonic 3 Ultrasonic Sensor For Close Range Applications. It is a sensor designed for special applications that require measurements very close to the sensor face or where a narrow ultrasonic beam is required at short range.
The ToughSonic 3 measures as close as 1.75 inches (4.5 cm), has an optimum range of 2 feet (61 cm) and a maximum range of 3 feet (91 cm) and it is completely user-configurable to meet a variety of interface and performance requirements using SenixVIEW configuration and analysis software.
The ToughSonic 3 is packaged in the same 30 mm threaded 316 stainless steel housing as our popular ToughSonic 14. It is fully potted with a 6-ft pigtail cable, IP68 ingress protected, and interface reverse polarity protected. Interfaces are software selected and configured, and include any two of voltage, current loop, and/or switches, plus serial data – all in one small package.
“Some of our high-end machine builders need this sensor to detect targets in confined areas where a wider ultrasonic beam would detect adjacent objects rather than the intended target.” said Doug Boehm, founder and CTO.
