Tough. by Design
The ToughSonic name says it all:
Injection molded PVDF (Kynar) for superior chemical resistance
Kynar® is a registered tradename of Arkema Corporation
Sensors can be assembled with custom cables or connectors. Serial data-only models are available for remote monitoring and other serial data-only applications.
∗ Measurement is unreliable when submersed
Smart. Engineering
ToughSonic sensors have the smarts to:
Senix invented PC-configurable “smart sensors” in 1990 and has improved them ever since, giving you get the benefits of years of continuous improvement!
Flexible. Outputs
PLUS EVERY ToughSonic Ultrasonic Sensor has serial data for SenixVIEW setup or user application:
Connected. SenixVIEW Software
SenixVIEW is included at no charge, runs on a Windows PC and connects to sensors via a serial data port. Our Setup Kits provide everything needed to connect through a USB port, including power supply, sensor-PC interface and cables. SenixVIEW is not required but adds powerful configuration, test and management capability.
