In industrial automation, precision is non-negotiable. Whether you’re measuring liquid levels, detecting objects in a production line, or automating a complex process, you need sensors that deliver accuracy, reliability, and durability. If these qualities are crucial to you, allow us to recommend Microsonic sensors.
As a recognised innovator in ultrasonic sensing technology, Microsonic has set the benchmark for performance. But what makes these sensors stand out from the competition? And why should South African industries pay attention? Let’s break it down.
Mastering Ultrasonic Technology for Over Three Decades
When a company focuses on one thing and does it exceptionally well, it tends to overshadow its field. That’s exactly the case with Microsonic. Since 1990, they’ve been at the cutting edge of ultrasonic sensor innovation, constantly refining and enhancing their technology.
Their expertise translates into highly precise, robust, and adaptable sensors that outperform the alternatives. Whether it’s detecting transparent objects, measuring fill levels, or operating in extreme environments, Microsonic has a sensor built for the job.
Engineered for Challenging Industrial Conditions
Industrial environments aren’t forgiving. Heat, moisture, dust, vibration, and chemical exposure can wreak havoc on sensitive electronic components. Your establishment doesn’t have time for malfunctions, inaccurate readings, or sensor failure. Reliability is non-negotiable when choosing an ultrasonic sensor for demanding applications.
Microsonic sensors are engineered to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining pinpoint accuracy. Their hermetically sealed housings are typically made from high-grade stainless steel (V4A) or chemically resistant plastics like Teflon. You can rest assured that harsh industrial chemicals, humidity, and corrosive substances won’t degrade their performance over time.
Designed for Harsh Environments
Let’s take the pico+TF series, for example. It’s one of the smallest chemically resistant ultrasonic sensors on the market. It’s specifically built for high-corrosion environments, making it a perfect fit for industries such as:
- Wastewater Management: Measures liquid levels in corrosive environments without being affected by humidity or chemical exposure.
- Chemical Processing: Operates in areas with aggressive cleaning agents, acids, or solvents without performance degradation.
- Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Ensures contamination-free sensing, even in frequent washdown applications with high-pressure cleaning.
- Mining & Heavy Industry: Resists dust and extreme temperatures, maintaining accuracy in rugged field conditions.
For industries that demand robust, long-lasting sensing solutions, Microsonic is a brand you can trust.
Innovative Features That Give You an Edge
Beyond durability, Microsonic sensors are packed with advanced technology that simplifies integration and boosts efficiency:
- IO-Link Connectivity – Get real-time data and seamless integration with modern industrial automation systems.
- Push-Pull Switching Outputs – Enjoy flexible signal processing for both NPN and PNP circuits, making setup more convenient.
- Variable Detection Ranges – Whether you need precise short-range detection or long-range measurement up to 8 meters or more, Microsonic has a sensor for you.
