Object Detection
Need non-contact, unintrusive, long-distance proximity detection in a factory or processing setting? Senix ToughSonic® ultrasonic proximity sensors reliably detect objects or materials through the air and are easy to install and program.
Most materials can be detected: hard or soft, any color or transparency, and flat or curved. ToughSonics are unaffected by optical characteristics and remain accurate through ambient light, shine, and reflectivity.
Unlike traditional proximity sensors, ultrasonics operate over longer distances and can be set up to limit object detection within a user-specified distance band—or “window.”
Industries & Applications
Object detection is a form of proximity sensing to determine if an object is present (arrives) or is absent (disappears).
Installing proximity sensors allows automation to continue efficiently and effectively. ToughSonics eliminate the need for manual monitoring and labor at the work station.

Distance Discrimination
Senix transmitters can be configured by the user to restrict object detection to a range of distances.
They can also be set up to establish a single maximum range of detection within the sensor’s total range.
This allows the sensor to ignore objects that are permanently or intermittently within range that may affect accurate readings of the chosen subject—such as a conveyor line.
Choosing Your Smart Sensor
ToughSonic proximity sensors easily connect with all common automation equipment—from simple ON/OFF switches to relay connections, PLC inputs, and multi-sensor detection networks.
Find ultrasonics in environments where the presence or absence of a material, object, or person is important in the control of a machine or process.
ToughSonics are durably built with rugged internal electronics, liquid tight, and conveniently adjustable with SensorView™ software.
