How do Ultrasonic Sensors Work?
Ultrasonic sensors produce a sound wave which reflects off of any surface in its path, identifying if there is a product present or not and indicating its distance from the sensor. There are many types of sensors available with different sensing styles and ranges for different environments and materials.
Applications in Wine Processing:
Sensors are typically used in large containers to identify liquefied levels. At TechElectric Automation Inc. we needed to measure the liquid level inside the narrow neck of a green coloured wine bottle. This bottle would not allow us to see through it so we couldn’t use a photo optic sensor. We installed an ultrasonic sensor that could look down into the neck of the bottle and record ranges. The sensor’s beam was narrow enough to easily look down the neck of the bottle. Our customer was pleased with the quick and easy solution for their automated wine machinery processing.
TechElectric Automation’s expertise is in solving automation problems with a variety of solutions.
