Ultrasonic sensor portfolio
The toolbox for all needs
Ultrasonic sensors for object detection operate on the time-of-flight principle, they measure the propagation time of high-frequency ultrasonic sound waves until being reflected by objects. The Baumer toolbox of ultrasonic sensors is unrivalled on the market and provides the right design, performance features and interface options for every application. This ensures reliably precise measurement results in every situation.
A real innovation is the Baumer NexSonic® technology the latest generation of ultrasonic sensors is based on: Ultra-flat UF200 for front mount, extremely compact U300 (cubic) and UR12 (cylindrical) as well as the particularly robust U500 (cubic) and UR18 (cylindrical).
Measurable added value for your application
What do the ultrasonic sensors have in common? They are flexible in use and tailored to the application and its requirements. Here, switching and measuring reliability have top priority. Here you can read in which situation which ultrasonic sensor and its features play to their strengths.
Large-scale part hopper systems or narrow openings
Objects in confined installation space difficult to detect
Interfering objects or fast objects

Baumer Technology Competence
Baumer ultrasonic sensors feature a sensor element ASIC (= Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) particularly designed and manufactured to match each other, where piezo element and ASIC are directly bonded to the matching layer/membrane. Benefits:
• Shorter paths and hence improved electromagnetic compatibility
• The evaluation electronics is more compact and closer to the sensor element, which allows for more rapid and reliable signal evaluation
• More stable and noise-free signal quality
• Additional filter functions for suppressing sources of interference such as agitators.
This way, the Baumer ultrasonic sensors are among the fastest and smallest ones available on the market. Distance-related gain ensures consistent signal quality throughout the entire detection range and at the same time cuts down on the blind range - in other words, Baumer sensors offer the best ratio of detection versus blind range.
Ultrasonic sensor know-how
Ultrasonic sensors utilize the measured propagation time of ultrasonic signals. They transmit high-frequency sound waves which reflect on an object. The objects to be detected may be liquid or in grain or powder form. Ultrasonic sensors unambiguously detect transparent and other objects difficult to detect.
