identifies two or more sheets of material on top of each other. The dbk+4 product range is ideal for use where paper is in use, such as sheet fed printing presses, printers, copiers or collating machines. For thicker materials, plastic sheets and coarse corrugated cardboard, the dbk+5 ultrasonic double-sheet detection is used.

on a packaging machine. A broad spectrum of ultrasonic sensors are available for the detection of objects during fast processes: the zws ultrasonic sensors in square-shaped housing, the sks sensors in miniature design, the pico+ultrasonic sensors in the M18 threaded sleeve with optional angled head and IO-Link interface.

during the winding/unwinding of wires. Depending on the size of the drum, a mic+130/D/TC with 1,300 mm operating range or a mic+35/D/TC with 350 mm operating range can be used. If the position of the wire on the drum should be recorded, there are ultrasonic sensors with analogue output available.

Owing to their compact dimensions pico sensors with an M18 threaded sleeve are ideal for positioning robot arms.

If the task is to detect the presence of persons, you are recommended to choose a sensor with an operating range well in excess of the required scanning distance. The greater the operating range of a sensor, the lower is its ultrasonic frequency. And the lower the ultrasonic frequency, the easier it is to detect absorbent clothing materials such as wool or corduroy.

When scanning panes of glass or other smooth, flat surfaces, care should be taken to ensure that the ultrasonic sensor scans perpendicular to the surface.

Can be implemented with all ultrasonic sensors with switching output. If the material does not lie flat, it is advisable to operate the sensor as a two-way or reflective barrier. This operating mode also works reliably when the sonic beam is deflected away by the waves in the material. All ultrasonic proximity switches with the microsonic Teach-in support the operating mode reflective barrier.

A solution with the sensor operating as a two-way or reflective barrier should always be preferred when the object to be scanned absorbs the sound waves or, due to its shape or position in the tray, deflects the sound waves away. In this situation an additional reflector is positioned behind the actual object to be scanned. An ultrasonic sensor with switched output and operating in window mode emits a signal as soon as the object obscures the reflector.

Sensors with a switched output, e.g., from the mic+ sensor family can be used, depending on the size of the box or container. The mic+25/D/TC , mic+35/D/TC or mic+130/D/TC can be selected for scanning small boxes. With larger containers you are recommended to use a mic+340/D/TC or mic+600/D/TC . If the box or container is to be scanned by several sensors, it is recommended to synchronise them with each other.

The wms-4/4I controller with four analogue outputs enables the simultaneous operation of up to four ultrasonic sensors with different detection ranges for the three-dimensional scanning of any size of box.

Detection of filling levels from just a few millimetres up to 8 m can be made. Ultrasonic sensors with one or two switched outputs for minimum/maximum control, or with 0-10 V and 4-20 mA analogue output are available. Chemical resistant versions are also available with crm+ or hps+ ultrasonic sensors.

In this case an ultrasonic sensor with analogue output scans from above into the loop and adjusts the material feed depending on the depth of the loop. If a loop of material tends to swing sideways, the sound waves are very easily deflected away when scanning from above. In such cases it is recommended to scan the loop from below, as shown in the diagram.

The diameter of a roll or coil of material can be detected by an ultrasonic sensor with analogue output and the drive adjusted or brake applied accordingly. For small diameters this is a typical application for a mic+35/IU/TC and for diameters up to 2.5 m a mic+130/IU/TC.

Whether wooden boards, panes of glass, sheets of paper or coloured plastic panels, ultrasonic sensors are ideal for detecting the height of a stack of material with great accuracy.

are possible with the hps+ sensors. In addition, the sensors are chemically resistant and available as a version with two pnp switching outputs or analogue and switching output.

It is easy to set up a two-way or reflective barrier using an ultrasonic sensor operating in window mode. To do this, a permanent reflector is positioned behind the objects to be scanned. When an object obscures the reflector, a switching signal is generated.

The sonic beam can be redirected via a reverberant, smooth reflecting surface. There are 90° sonic reflectors available as accessories for this. These can be used to advantage in certain confined installations.

The esf-1 label sensor can reliably detect high-transparency, reflective materials as well as metallised labels and labels of any colour. The measurement cycle time automatically self-adjusts to the sound power required.

The mic+ ultrasonic sensors with analogue output 0 – 10 V and 4 – 20 mA are ideally suited for controlling the diameter on a foil extruder.

The pico column sensor were specially developed for applications such as checking whether crates are filled or empty, or scanning empty plastic bottles on a conveyor belt. A sensor can distinguish between bottles that are too tall or too short, or have fallen over.
