PIL - Long-range ultrasonic sensors offer industry’s greatest range at up to 6000mm

PIL announced the launch of a new P43 ranging ultrasonic sensor. Applications include object recognition for agriculture and liquid level, distance measurement for trucks and loading ramps, level sensing in dusty conditions, parking lot detection / obstacle monitoring, and various other industrial and manufacturing applications. The company said that the PIL P43 ultrasonic sensor offers the industry's largest range-from 250mm to a maximum of 6000mm. Available in M12, M18 and M30 sizes-with or without threaded or cubic housing. Highly accurate, it has a smaller tone cone shape, two integrated internal LEDs (for echo adjustment), and an analog internal sensor-no digital conversion is required and accuracy is not lost. P43 provides a standard analog 0-10V / 4-20mA output and two switch outputs. In addition to these fixed settings, other custom settings can be programmed through teaching. "The new PIL P43 ultrasonic sensor is an excellent solution for a variety of applications that are essential for high-precision distance sensing," said Dr. Heimann, CEO of PIL. "We are pleased to provide the industry with the first distance up to 6000mm. Remote ultrasonic sensors that provide accurate results. " Ultrasonic sensors use ultrasonic transducers to send and receive sound waves. The specially encoded ultrasonic signals are transmitted in a set mode. After being reflected from the object under test, the signal is received and decoded by the sensor. The recorded flight time is temperature compensated and converted into distance data. Ultrasonic distance sensors are often used in harsh industrial environments because they are independent of the material and color of the object to be measured and are not affected by light, dust and fog. The company says they work very accurately and linearly with background suppression.
