Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors for Automation
Material Handling Ultrasonic Sensors
Ultrasonic sensors play a critical role in manufacturing by enabling automation across the production floor. From conveyor lines to material handling systems, these non-contact sensors offer reliable detection, measurement, and control in challenging industrial environments.
Whether you need sensors for packaging machines or a sensor for part positioning, Migatron offers the best non-contact sensors for factory automation. Our non-contact sensors ensure that even irregular or transparent surfaces can be reliably detected, eliminating common production bottlenecks.
Ultrasonic Sensors for Mining Equipment
Conveyor Belt Object Detection
Featured Ultrasonic Sensor: RPS-401A
In manufacturing, automation sensors for conveyor systems play a vital role in monitoring materials throughout the production line. Preventing product accumulation is essential to avoid equipment strain and reduce downtime.
Why RPS-401A
- Compact design fits easily into tight conveyor spaces.
- Calibrated short range ultrasonic sensor ideal for low-profile material monitoring.
- A narrow sensing beam offers precise detection in confined or cluttered environments.
How It Works
- Migatron's RPS-401A Ultrasonic Sensor is mounted above the conveyor belt.
- It emits ultrasonic pulses to measure the height of materials on the belt in real time.
- Adjust conveyor speed
- Trigger alarms or shutoffs in overload conditions
Robot Guidance Sensor
Featured Ultrasonic Sensor: RPS-150
How It Works
- Emits a broad ultrasonic beam to detect objects within an adjustable range.
- Triggers solid-state relay outputs based on part presence or absence.
Why RPS-150
- Adjustable sensing range: 2″–40″ or 5″–80″ options available.
- A wide beam is ideal for detecting off-center or irregular targets.
- Solid-state relay outputs that are easy to integrate with PLCs or control systems
Ultrasonic Sensor for Original Equipment Manufacturers
Ultrasonic Conveyor Speed Control
- A manufacturer needs to know the diameter of finished rolls of paper products so they can be packaged.
- They need a non-contact sensor that would not be affected by changing target surfaces or colors.
Conveyor and Process Control
- The customer was having problems with the photocells on their conveyor lines.
- They need a hazardous location sensor that can withstand a hostile environment.
