RPS-400-6
Features
The RPS-400-6 is a compact, high frequency
sensor. It was introduced to the Migatron family of
ultrasonic sensors to better meet the needs of the
machine manufacturing industry.
This sensor has a wide array of application
solutions not found in other proximity sensor technologies.
The RPS-400-6 has an adjustable two to
six inch sensing range with background suppression
(meaning any object within the desired range is detected,
while objects out of the desired range are ignored).
It cannot be affected by changes in target
color or material. The RPS-400-6 is capable of detecting
vibrating and/or tilting targets. A response
time of no more than 2.1 ms and an operating frequency
of 300kHz makes the RPS-400-6 a repeatable
and accurate high-speed sensor.

The RPS-400-6 is a three wire NPN transistor
output device. The transistor can switch 30VDC
at 50mA continuously. It has a molded VALOX case
that is filled with epoxy potting material. The transducer
face is made of white silicone. A six-foot cable
comes standard with the RPS-400-6. Special cable
lengths or connectors are also available for OEM
applications. Like all Migatron ultrasonic sensors,
the RPS-400-6 is ideal for detecting clear objects.
Its ability to operate in dusty environments makes it
ideal for rugged conveyors, PC board handling equipment,
and fillers.
Proximity Detection
Proximity detection is the detection of an
object in a given range. The detection range of the
RPS-400-6 is controlled by the "Range Control"
potentiometer located on the side of the sensor. Any
object within the desired range is detected, while
objects out of range are ignored (background suppression).
The detect point is independent of size,
material, and reflectivity.
