Electrostatic ultrasonic sensing gives agricultural equipment one rugged transducer for boom height control, tank level, and grain bin monitoring: detecting soft crop canopy, holding accuracy from -40°C to +85°C, and surviving chemical spray, in conditions where piezoelectric ultrasonic sensors lose the signal.
Electrostatic ultrasonic sensing delivers reliable vehicle presence detection and accurate height classification for gates, toll lanes, and parking systems — in any light, any weather, with no camera required.

A look at how R&D engineers can validate an electrostatic ultrasonic concept on an Arduino® — and carry that work toward a production design without starting the sensing layer over from scratch. Most ultrasonic prototypes start the same way: an engineer grabs whatever $3 ultrasonic module is in the parts drawer, wires it to an

How electrostatic ultrasonic sensing gives automated side loaders — and operator-assisted rear and front loaders — reliable distance data to support cleaner grabs, fewer collisions, and better-informed control and safety logic. A modern residential collection route is one of the most demanding sensing environments in the heavy-equipment world. An automated side loader (ASL) pulls up
Self-service health screening kiosks are showing up in pharmacies, employer wellness centers, urgent care lobbies, and telehealth stations. They measure blood pressure, weight, BMI, temperature, and other vitals without requiring a staff member to operate them. The concept works — until the kiosk can’t tell whether someone is actually standing in front of it. Patient

SensComp is proud to announce that one of its electrostatic sensors passed the rigorous testing criteria to be qualified as a component of an upcoming NASA mission to Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. This mission will launch an 8-bladed rotorcraft over 740 million miles to study the fundamental components of organic life on Titan. SensComp’s electrostatic

Electrostatic devices have a higher sensitivity and bandwidth than piezoelectric devices. Electrostatic devices have a relatively flat response over a wide frequency range, and because they are low-resonant, have very low ring-out characteristics. Such devices have approximately 40 dB greater receive sensitivity than piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers. The increased sensitivity translates into longer-range capabilities (or lower-gain
