ULTRASONIC SENSOR & its

WORKING

By Aman Rupareliya
 What is an ULTRASONIC Sensor?
• The Ultrasonic Sensor is a Transceiver Module (Transmitter + Receiver).

• It transmits High Frequency Ultrasonic Waves of frequency greater than 20 KHz.

• Intercepts the waves reflected by an obstacle.

• Electrical Signals ↔ Ultrasonic Signals ↔ Electrical Signals

ULTRASONIC

 APPLICATIONS

Ultrasonic sensors can measure the following parameters,

without even getting in contact with the medium which is
to be measured :
• Distance
• Level
• Presence
• Diameter
• Position
Liquid Level Sensing Trash Level Monitoring

Vehicle Detection, Automotive Assembly,

Uses in Production Lines
and Parking Garage Applications
 APPLICATIONS OF IR SENSOR
• Anti-Collision Detection
• People Detection
• Contouring or Profiling
• Presence Detection
• Box Sorting using a Multi-Transducer System
• Easy Control of Trash Collection Vehicles
• Pallet Detection with Forklifts
• Bottle Counting on Drink Filling Machines
Advantages of Ultrasonic Sensors:

• Their small size makes it easy to integrate into projects

• Ultrasonics can easily integrate with any type of controller
• Their high frequency, sensitivity, and power make it easy to detect
objects
• They have greater accuracy than many other methods at measuring
thickness and depth of a parallel surface
• Ultrasonics are easy to use and not dangerous during operation
• An inexpensive option
