Ultrasonic sensors resist chemicals
Chemical protection for ultrasonic sensors comes from a factory-installed Teflon flange and film coating bonded over the sensors transducer, sealing against gases and vapors.
Banner Engineering announces the addition of chemically resistant models to their U-Gage line of ultrasonic sensors The chemical protection comes from a factory-installed Teflon flange and film coating bonded over the sensors transducer, sealing against gases and vapors that would destroy standard models

Chemically resistant ultrasonic sensors
Banner Engineering has added chemically resistant models to its U-gage line of ultrasonic sensors.
Two-hand machine actuation simplified
A bar-type control system minimizes the possibility of defeat and accidental actuation, and its ergonomic design reduces hand, wrist and arm stresses associated with repeated switch operation.
On-axis lights for even illumination
By delivering collimated illumination in the same optical path as the camera, on-axis lights from Banner Engineering provide diffused illumination on flat surfaces for easier inspection.
Chemically resistant U-Gage ultrasonic sensors are available in all QT50U and most T30U models and are ideal for a wide variety of level control applications in cleaning, etching and other chemical processes where material is corrosive or caustic.
QT50U models have a sensing range of 200mm to 8m, and T30U models have a sensing range of 300mm to 1.5m.
With the exception of range, performance specifications for both sensors are identical to those of the corresponding standard models and include the following: * A variety of outputs and voltages.
* QT50U models available with 10 to 30V DC and analog or discrete outputs, and universal voltage 85 to 264V AC/24 to 250V DC with a SPDT electromechanical relay output.
* T30U models with 10 to 30V DC with discrete or analog/discrete outputs.
* Fast, easy-to-use teach programming that uses two on-board push buttons.
* Fully encapsulated designs rated IP67, NEMA 6P for use in harsh environments.
* Inherent immunity to target color differences and high-power light interference.
* Bright LEDs that display status during set-up and operation, * Models with high/low limit controls, * Unique housings for multiple mounting configurations using the sensor's threaded nose or a variety of brackets,.
