HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Product Description
The HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ sensor line is a cost-effective solution for applications where precision range-finding, space saving, and low-cost are needed. This sensor component module allows users of other more costly precision rangefinders to lower the cost of their systems without sacrificing performance. Additionally, this sensor line allows cost-sensitive designers to choose this precision sensor as a performance upgrade over other lower performance sensors. The HRUSB-MaxSonar-EZ sensor line provides high accuracy and high resolution ultrasonic proximity detection and ranging in air, in a package less than one cubic inch. This sensor line features 1-mm resolution, target-size compensation for improved accuracy, superior rejection of outside noise sources, internal speed-of-sound temperature compensation. This ultrasonic sensor detects objects from 1-mm to 5-meters, senses range to objects from 30-cm to 5-meters, with large objects closer than 30-cm are typically reported as 30-cm.
