Specialist in ultrasonic sensors: MaxBotix
For over twenty years, the US company MaxBotix has been developing and producing high-performance sensors that utilize the advantages of ultrasonic measurement. The various sensors, such as LV ProxSonar, ParkSonar, and MaxSonar, are used, for example, as distance sensors in industry, for monitoring parking garages, and in waste management.
LV ProxSonar series: Distance sensors with high measuring accuracy
MaxBotix offers LV ProxSonar ultrasonic sensors, which are perfect for precise and continuous distance measurement. The compact components detect all objects and persons within a specified range with a resolution of 1 inch: they register the entry and exit of these objects and persons, while also providing accurate data on the specific distance.
The detection zones vary depending on the model. The LV ProxSonar series includes the ProxSonar-EZ0 to ProxSonar-EZ4 variants, with the EZ0 model covering the largest area with a detection range of around 2.1 m. For the LV ProxSonar-EZ4, this value is approximately 30 cm. Detailed information is available on the individual EXP-Tech product pages!
Technical overview:
• MB1004 (LV ProxSonar EZ0): Trigger distance 213 cm | up to 6 sensors
• MB1014 (EZ1): Trigger distance 152 cm | up to 8 sensors
• MB1024 (EZ2): Trigger distance 92 cm | up to 10 sensors
• MB1034 (EZ3): Trigger distance 61 cm | up to 13 sensors
• MB1044 (EZ4): Trigger distance 30.5 cm | up to 15 sensors
This makes LV ProxSonar sensors suitable for applications that require detailed distance data, such as object detection in robotics, logistics, or level measurement.
Further technical details can be found on the respective product pages:
MB1004 | MB1014 | MB1024 | MB1034 | MB1044
If you want to purchase sensors from the LV ProxSonar series, you can also choose between two basic types: with and without a USB connection. The USB sensors have a Micro-B USB connection, which makes it even easier to integrate them into the respective system.
The all-rounders: distance sensors for a wide range of purposes
With the LV ProxSonar distance sensors, you are choosing versatile ultrasonic sensors: they are just as valuable for implementing autonomous systems as they are for experiments in research facilities.
At the same time, they are robust and weatherproof sensors that you can use indoors and outdoors without any problems. The wide range of detection areas of the various models also contributes to their versatility. The same applies to the flexibility of the output options: the distance sensors feature digital outputs for logic swing signals and synchronous serial RS232 communication.
There are many practical examples of the LV ProxSonar series ultrasonic distance sensor – users particularly appreciate this MaxBotix sensor technology in the following areas:
- Robotics and autonomous systems
- Industrial processes and logistics
- Level measurements
- Development, research, and education
Proximity sensor from MaxBotix for robotics and autonomous systems
Reliable object detection is essential for robots and autonomous systems: Precise distance sensors are a key requirement for implementing these innovative technologies.
With the LV-ProxSonar ultrasonic distance sensor, MaxBotix offers a component that is suitable for a wide range of requirements. The sensors detect all types of objects with high precision and a short target acquisition time of approximately 2.5 seconds within the defined range. Possible applications include vacuum robots, kiosk automation technology, and industrial equipment. The range of possible applications is huge: LV ProxSonar series sensors are recommended wherever continuous distance measurement with high measurement accuracy is required.
Distance measurements in industrial processes
The extensive automation of industrial and logistical processes ensures efficiency gains for companies: A proximity sensor from MaxBotix provides valuable support in this regard! These ultrasonic sensors detect objects on conveyor belts, for example, and immediately pass on this information. The connected components then initiate the appropriate steps. From production to packaging systems: When you purchase sensors from the LV ProxSonar series, you are securing the benefits of proven sensor technology from the USA!
With these sensors, you not only increase the efficiency of the manufacturing and logistics processes, but also improve occupational safety. The industrial distance sensor also detects employees who come too close to sensitive areas in the vicinity of machines: The machine then shuts down for safety reasons.
ProxSonar proximity sensor for level measurement
The versatility of the LV ProxSonar distance sensors is demonstrated by another example: the ultrasonic sensors can also be used to monitor fill levels in tanks and other containers. The sensor emits ultrasonic pulses, which are reflected by the surface of the respective medium. This allows the distance and thus the fill level to be calculated.
A major advantage is that the distance sensor determines the fill level without contact. This technology ensures that no contamination or damage occurs. The LV ProxSonar distance sensor performs its function over a long period of time and is maintenance-free!
Development, research, education: Buy LV ProxSonar
With an LV ProxSonar series proximity sensor, you can also carry out many projects in development and research departments. For example, use these sensors to build prototypes and take advantage of precise distance measurement for a wide range of research tasks.
Last but not least: LV ProxSonar distance sensors are also very popular in schools and universities. They can be used for a wide range of experiments. Thanks to their robust design, they can withstand intensive use.
The advantages at a glance: LV ProxSonar distance sensor
The LV ProxSonar ultrasonic distance sensor from MaxBotix offers a number of relevant advantages – its all-round qualities deserve special mention. The distance sensor is suitable for numerous areas of application. With the wide range of detection zones offered by the different models from EZ0 to EZ4, you benefit from flexibility!
Another advantage is that you can easily integrate the proximity sensor into your technical environment. The sensors feature a wide range of output options. The versions with USB modules set new standards in terms of user-friendliness. In addition, the US manufacturer produces these sensors in a compact design and with low weight, so that they can be easily installed almost anywhere.
The precision of the measurement and the reliability of the continuous distance measurement are two further advantages. With the sensors of the LV ProxSonar series, you are purchasing components that immediately register all objects and persons within the defined detection range. If these objects or people disappear from the detection zone, the proximity sensor releases the signal again. These precise distance measurements are made in the specified range with virtually no dead zone!
This is another difference between these sensors and other sensors in the MaxBotix range: while ParkSonar sensors, for example, primarily detect the presence of objects, LV ProxSonar sensors also perform precise distance measurements.
Another feature is also of relevant importance: The sensors in the LV ProxSonar series are multi-sensor capable.Specifically, this means that you can use the sensors together with other sensors. The exact number depends on the model – for all details, please refer to the product descriptions at EXP-Tech!
There are many good reasons to buy an LV ProxSonar sensor:
- Versatility
- Precision and reliability
- Easy integration into technical environments
- Durability thanks to industrial quality
