Ultrasonic Sensors for Production Lines
Migatron ultrasonic sensors provide non-contact sensing on production lines. Designed for industrial automation, ultrasonic sensors are well suited for detecting, measuring, and monitoring products.
From high-speed counting to robotic material handling, Migatron ultrasonic sensors help manufacturers improve production line reliability, reduce maintenance, and maintain consistent performance across systems like conveyors.

Applications in Industrial Automation
When selecting ultrasonic sensors for production lines or industrial automation, consider:
- Target size, material, and surface condition
- Required sensing range and response time
- Environmental conditions such as dust or moisture
Migatron partners with OEMs and system integrators to apply proven ultrasonic sensing solutions and develop custom configurations tailored to industrial automation requirements. Here are just a few of the many ways our sensors have been used in production lines.
Box Sorting
Short-range ultrasonic proximity sensors are ideal for detecting box presence and spacing before diverters or gates. These sensors provide fast response and reliable detection regardless of object color, labels, or surface condition.
Recommended sensor:
Conveyor Belt Alignment
The RPS-429A-IS provides continuous distance feedback to monitor conveyor belt position and edge drift. Its analog output supports closed-loop alignment control in industrial environments where reliability and hazardous-area approvals are required, such as mining.
Recommended sensor:
Hopper Level Detection
The RPS-150A is designed for non-contact level measurement in hoppers and bins. It provides stable level feedback on powders, granules, and bulk solids where contact-based sensors are prone to buildup or mechanical wear.
Recommended sensor:
Stack Height Measurement
The RPS-409A-IS2 measures stack height on pallets or staged products using distance-based ultrasonic sensing. Intrinsically safe model allows use in regulated environments while maintaining accurate, repeatable measurements.
Recommended sensor:
Roll Diameter Monitoring
By measuring distance to the roll surface, ultrasonic sensors calculate roll diameter in real time. This data is commonly used for unwind and rewind control, speed regulation, and material changeover timing.
