Top ten ultrasonic sensor application cases
CYNDAR sensor technology
Ultrasonic sensors can be used in many industries, such as logistics industry, construction machinery, food and beverage, material level detection or automatic door and industrial door detection. Ultrasonic sensors provide solutions for various diversified application requirements.
The following 9 comprehensive application examples show you the application versatility of ultrasonic sensors.
1. Ultrasonic parking assist system
Ultrasonic parking assist is also called parking assist system, parking guidance system and reverse assist. These systems can range from simply detecting surrounding objects and alerting the driver through sound to automatic parking with almost no human operation. Generally, 4-16 sensors can be installed around the body to provide the required detection coverage.
2, kick to open the trunk
The kick-opening trunk is also called the smart trunk opening system. This function allows the owner to put his foot under the rear bumper, without using his hands, only need to kick the foot to open the trunk of the car
3. Detection of objects at a distance of 15 cm to 1 meter
One of the challenges of using ultrasonic sensing technology to kick open the trunk is the close range detection. The ability of an ultrasonic sensor to accurately detect near-field objects depends on the quality of the sensor and the specifications of the sensor, the driving method and design, and the performance of the receiving path (AFE and digital processing).
4. Anti-collision detection of aerial work platforms
Driven aerial work platforms are becoming more and more popular in many construction sites. These platforms can greatly facilitate the implementation of high-altitude operations and effectively improve production efficiency. Then, serious aerial work platform accidents caused by collisions occur almost every day, so safety issues cannot be ignored. Ultrasonic sensors can effectively guarantee the safe operation of such equipment.
5. Ultrasonic sensor for spray nozzle
To help keep the trees in their best condition, chemicals are applied through a special spraying process. These medicines are costly for farmers.
In order for the harvest to be sold at a reasonable price, the spraying work must be as efficient as possible. Use ultrasonic sensors to save pesticides by detecting the gaps between trees. Once these gaps are found, the spraying process will temporarily stop.
6. Use ultrasonic sensors to control the garbage collection truck
For reliable operation, the sensors required by mobile devices allow it to be used in harsh conditions around the clock. For these vehicles, extreme temperatures, severe bumps and vibrations are common. The ultrasonic sensors used in these vehicles, such as garbage collection trucks, must be very robust and reliable to ensure safe operation.
7. Forklift pallet inspection
Logistics industry applications usually rely on forklifts to reliably transport heavy objects to designated locations. Pepperl+Fuchs ultrasonic sensors monitor the forklift in a specific area to ensure its accuracy and reliability. Relying on the ultrasonic sensor, you can determine whether the pallet has been loaded on the forklift and how far the forklift rod is inserted under the pallet.
8. Printed circuit board conveyor line
From smartphones and household appliances to the cars we drive, electronics-and therefore printed circuit boards (PCBs)-are an essential feature of almost every machine today. These printed circuit boards are the heart of any device and must be handled with extreme care. Ultrasonic sensors can help control the production process of these highly sensitive printed circuit boards.
9. The beverage filling machine uses ultrasonic sensors to count beverage bottles
The bottles are detected and counted at several key nodes to ensure continuous logistics monitoring. Optimize every bottle entering and leaving the filling system, and reliably detect missing bottles. Even in the field of strong steam, it can accurately ensure the detection of beverage bottles.
10. Ultrasonic sensors are used for vehicle detection in the gate system
In parking lots and garages, the entrance is controlled by a gate system. When a vehicle is under the railing, the railing cannot be lowered. Ultrasonic sensors are particularly suitable for controlling this process. They detect the target object will not be affected by the model or color of the vehicle, and monitor the entire area under the railing.
