Ultrasonic sensors

The F77 Series ultrasonic sensors are an alternative to background-suppression photoelectric sensors in dirty and dusty applications or where color variations or transparent targets are the norm.

The F77 Series ultrasonic sensors are an alternative to background-suppression photoelectric sensors in dirty and dusty applications or where color variations or transparent targets are the norm. Highly immune to acoustic interference, the sensors have minimal deadband, which is important when the devices mount on machinery that uses numerous pneumatic cylinders.

The sensors are compact and provide up to 50-Hz switching frequency for fast response times. They come in diffuse (up to 400-mm sensing range), retroreflective (up to 400-mm sensing range), and thru-beam models (up to 800-mm sensing range).
