Original Press Release:
Compact Sensor Offers Longer Sensing Ranges at Lower Cost
July 25, 2003-Dayton, OH-The new Virtu(TM) ultrasonic sensor developed by Hyde Park has sensing ranges from 50 mm ( 2") to 510 mm (20"). This versatile, powerful proximity sensor sells for under $100, a price breakthrough for superior ultrasonic technology.
With an 18 mm x 1 mm threaded snout 0.89" long and a 1.49" rectangular body for a total length of only 2.38", the Virtu's small size and tough VALOX® housing make it ideal for many OEM applications and an unfailing performer for an array of packaging applications, including food and beverage. Available in cable or connector style, the Virtu is the first sonic compact sensor to offer a dual mounting feature. In addition, it operates on 10.8 to 26 VDC and provides both a sinking (NPN) and a sourcing (PNP) output. The Virtu also has teach-in window capability, and no downtime required for sensor recalibration when colors, materials or shapes change.
With protection ratings of NEMA 4X and IP67, this CE certified sensor is resistant to dust, 100% humidity, most acids and bases and high pressure washdowns that often leave water buildup on the sensing face. This sleek sensor is virtually impervious to the effects of splashing food, caustic cleaning solutions, changing light conditions or colors. Shielding and filtering make the fully encapsulated sensor immune to radiated or conducted energy.
