We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ultrasonic Sensors",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Ultrasonic sensors calculate flow rates and volume from
Automation Products Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Loop powered ultrasonic level sensors use microprocessor control to internally perform liquid volume, flow, and totalization calculations".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Smart ultrasonic sensors have long range from
Vydas International Marketing: "Long range ultasonics sensors use the latest microprocessor technology to provide low cost precision non-contact distance measurement for factory automation".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Vega Controls UK
concerning its Level and pressure instruments webshop
- take a look at Level and pressure webshop offers extra 5% off
which says: "A Level and pressure instruments manufacturer has a special launch offer on its 'webshop' that lists ultrasonic sensors, pressure transmitters, vibrating level switches and much more".
Take a look also at the news release from Balluff UK, Mounting brackets simplify sensors mounting,
as well as Miniature robot with upgradeable computing power from Delta Line Europe UK,
and RoHS compliant ultrasonic sensors from Vydas International Marketing.
