All measuring methods are pushed to their ph\sical
limits in certain applications. Ultrasound ʗrst came
into use when reliaEle sensors were sought for
applications for which e[isting methods were not
suitaEle. The new principle e[panded the range of
metrological options, Eut for a long time was seen
onl\ as a solution for particularl\ trick\ scenarios
and was eYen considered to Ee a rather comple[
form of technolog\.
These times haYe long since passed Ɇ eYen if
eYer\one is not \et aware of this.
As the gloEal market and technolog\ leader for
ultrasonic sensors in the industr\, we are aEle to
oʖer the largest portfolio of standard products in
this area, featuring optimal solutions for most
applications. If this is not enough, we also haYe
the e[pertise and infrastructure to Tuickl\ and
ʘe[iEl\ respond to our customersş reTuirements
we deYelop and manufacture our ultrasonic
transducers in our own technolog\ center and haYe
a dedicated department of ʗrst-class e[perts on
hand for application-speciʗc deYelopment work.
Our slogan, ɌThe pulse of automation Ɇ Ultrasonics
E\ Pepperl+Fuchsɍ, descriEes the area where we
e[cel and deʗnes our aspiration to alwa\s Ee the
Eest in this ʗeld.

Ultrasonic sensors haYe successfull\ passed
practical endurance tests in Yirtuall\ all industrial
sectors. No other measuring method can Ee
successfull\ put to use on such a wide scale and
in so man\ diʖerent applications. The deYices are
e[tremel\ roEust, making them suitaEle for eYen
the toughest conditions. The sensor surface cleans
itself through YiEration, Eut that is not the onl\
reason wh\ the sensor is insensitiYe to dirt. The
ph\sical principle Ɇ the propagation of sound Ɇ
works, with a few e[ceptions, in practicall\ an\
enYironment, no matter how dust\ or dirt\.
