PiL Sensoren GmbH has more than 20 years of experience in the field of ultrasonic sensor technology. The company is therefore a globally recognized specialist in the development and manufacture of ultrasonic distance sensors for use in industrial automation, monitoring and vehicle technology. With an almost unlimited service life, the products are the perfect addition to non-contact measuring sensor systems.

Ultrasonic sensors are used in industrial environments, regardless of the material and color of the object to be measured. The sensors detect distances from millimetres to several meters. The functional principle of ultrasonic sensors is based on the time-of-flight measurement of ultrasound, which is emitted by the sensor as a high-frequency pulse and reflected back to the object being measured.

A large number of special sensors developed in collaboration with the customer, as well as the constantly growing product range, speak for the company's innovative strength. In recent years, for example, the company has succeeded in integrating analog and switching ultrasonic distance sensors into the housings of light scanners, thus offering a housing shape that is well known on the market.
