For most sensor applications, smaller is better, especially if performance does not suffer. With this goal, MaxBotix Inc. designed its UCXL-MaxSonar-WR-series sensors building on the success of its current outdoor sensors. With a shorter overall height of 25.27 mm (0.9995 in), the flexible, OEM-customizable products are intended to be integrated into a customer’s system with a MaxBotix horn, or designed for flush mounting into a customer’s existing housing.
RoHS and IP67 compliant with proper mounting design, the sensor layout has four mounting holes for mounting flexibility. With 1-cm resolution (object detection from 0-cm to 765-cm, and sonar range information from 20-cm out to 765-cm), the sensors have operational temperature range from -40˚C to +70˚C (-40˚F to +160˚F) and real-time automatic calibration (voltage, humidity, ambient noise).
