Virtu™ Ultrasonic Analog Sensors

Markham, Ontario-April 21, 2005- The next generation compact ultrasonic analog sensor outperforming many other sensor types in both applications

The new Virtu™ Analog ultrasonic sensor developed by Hyde Park features sensing ranges from 50.8 mm (2") up to 508 mm (20").

Virtu's dual-mount body style, with its M18 x 1 threaded snout 0.89" long and a 1.49" rectangular body for a total length of only 2.38", and tough VALOX® housing make it not only ideal for many OEM applications but also an unfailing performer for an array of packaging applications, including food and beverage. Available in cable or connector style, Virtu is the first sonic compact sensor to offer a dual mounting feature. It operates on 15 to 24 VDC. Virtu also has teach-in window capability, and no downtime is required for sensor recalibration when colors, materials, or shapes change.

With protection ratings of 4X and IP67, this CE certified sensor is resistant to dust, 100% humidity, most acids and bases, and high pressure washdowns that often leave water buildup on the sensing face. This sleek sensor is virtually impervious to the effects of splashing food, caustic cleaning solutions, and changing light conditions or colors. Shielding and filtering make the fully encapsulated sensor resistant to radiated or conducted energy.

Hyde Park is a leading supplier of sensing and control solutions to help manufacturers improve their automated processes, products and profits. Hyde Park products are represented and sold in Canada by Chartwell Automation Inc., 140 Duffield Dr., Markham, Ontario. L6G 1B5.
