TDK launches a demonstration kit for ultrasonic sensor modules that can detect obstacles
This component is very suitable for obstacle detection and distance measurement applications under harsh working conditions, such as under strong light irradiation and detecting transparent targets, and is widely used in autonomous mobile robots (AMR) or autonomous navigation vehicles (AGV).
The demonstration kit includes TDK demonstration board, USB-A to Micro-B cable, two ultrasonic sensor modules, two sensor cables, and two seals. The software package allows users to monitor the performance of sensors in various working modes and provide digital IO and analog readings of echo trajectories. The demonstration board can visually display what sensors can detect and their reactions in specific situations, helping users simplify early and later stages of development work.
The USSM1.0 PLUS-FS demonstration kit has a protection level of IP65/67. which can effectively prevent distortion of measurement results caused by external mechanical vibration. It is driven by a driver and an integrated piezoelectric disc, and equipped with an integrated signal processor ASIC, which can calculate signal propagation time with a repetition rate of up to 50 samples per second. In this way, its measurement distance range reaches 18 cm to 200 cm; In the one send one receive mode with multiple modules, the measurement distance can even be as short as 4 cm.
