About Migatron

Our Ultrasonic Sensing Story

Frank, Bill, Daniel. Three generations that have engineered an ultrasonic sensing Legacy.

At Migatron Corporation, ultrasonic sensing isn’t just a product line, it’s our heritage. As a third generation, family owned company, we’ve spent over 40 years helping engineers, OEMs, and maintenance professionals solve tough industrial sensing challenges with ultrasonic sensors.

Founded in 1979, Migatron has grown into a trusted manufacturer of ultrasonic sensors for tank level monitoring, object detection, distance ranging, and more. Our sensors are designed, tested, and assembled in Woodstock, Illinois and exported to customers worldwide. From harsh manufacturing lines to remote monitoring systems, our products are engineered to perform consistently.

Engineered for Safety and Performance

We offer a broad product portfolio, including Intrinsically Safe Ultrasonic Sensors designed for use in hazardous locations/explosive atmospheres. With approval that meet ANZEx, ATEX, IECEx, & C-UL-US standards, our sensors are trusted by the oil & gas, chemical, mining, and wastewater industries for use in Class I, Division 1 and Zone 0 environments. When safety and accuracy matter, Migatron delivers.

Serving Engineers and OEMs Across the Globe

Our customers span a wide range of industries from mining to bulk material handling and energy. Whether you’re integrating sensors into an OEM design or upgrading legacy equipment, we provide the performance and integration engineers expect from an experienced sensor partner.

We’re known for our responsive support, engineering insight, and willingness to adapt. Qualities that make us a long term partner for both small teams and large manufacturers.
