When short-range sensing applications demand repeatable and reliable On/Off control performance, the high-frequency, fixed-window SUPERPROX® Model SM600 Series ultrasonic proximity sensors are the ideal solution. These noncontact, self-contained sensors are unmatched for the reliable detection of objects of all kinds, transparent or opaque, liquid or solid, and as small as 1.6 mm (0.06") rod diameter, regardless of color or shape. Offering a variety of sensing ranges, up to 305 mm (12"), and fixed sensing windows, this series provides for the convenient placement of SM600 sensors throughout the plant.

Given the capability to “back off” from formerly “nearly-touching” mounting positions, these sensors are the solution for such applications as: metal parts as close as 25 mm (1"), moving back-to-back at speeds in excess of 2000 per minute. Others include: cap presence and/or tilt detection, fill-level checking, fill-tube-presence monitoring, downed container detection, case inspection, detection of container edges, web monitoring and CD case inspection where opacity, color and height vary, and wherever there’s a need to upgrade a metal prox function.
