PRESS RELEASE

This new innovative range of plastic ultrasonic transducers are manufactured by Massa Products Corp USA, for more than 50 years a recognised leader in the design and manufacture of electroacoustic transducers and systems for use in air and under water. The transducers are available in Europe from sensing and instrumentation specialist Vydas International Marketing.

The Massa Model TR-2436/150 and TR-2445/210 are new ultrasonic air transducers that operate at frequencies of 150 kHz and 210 kHz respectively. They are encased in a small solid plastic housing, which results in a robust package with a completely sealed face suitable for applications in difficult adverse environments.

The transducer will be typically used in non-contact echo ranging applications where a single transducer is used to first transmit a short duration acoustic signal, and then receives the echo reflected from a target. Alternatively, two separate transducers are used, one to transmit and one to receive.

Applications for this rugged sensor include, precision distance measurement, liquid and solids level measurement, thickness control, automatic filling operations, mechanical positioning, roll diameter measurement, web loop monitoring. Also, automatic packaging, machine tool fluid level, paper and plastics film processing, proximity measurement, high speed counting and many factory automation or industrial process control applications.
