Differences in Sensor Performance Between Ultrasonic and Laser Rangefinders
1. Accuracy: The measurement accuracy of ultrasonic displacement sensors/distance sensors is centimeter level, while the measurement accuracy of distance meters/distance sensors is millimeter level;
2. Measurement range: The measurement range of ultrasonic rangefinder/rangefinder sensor is usually within 80 meters, while the measurement range of handheld laser rangefinder/rangefinder sensor can reach up to 200 meters, and the measurement range of laser rangefinder telescope can reach hundreds, thousands, or even farther.
3. Error probability: Ultrasonic rangefinders/distance sensors are prone to errors, mainly because they emit sound waves and have the fan-shaped emission characteristics of sound waves. Therefore, when there are many obstacles where sound waves pass through, more sound waves are reflected back, causing more interference and making them prone to errors. Laser rangefinders, on the other hand, emit a very small beam of laser and then return, so as long as the beam can pass through, there is almost no interference.
4. Price: The price of ultrasonic rangefinder/distance sensor ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, and the price of rangefinder/distance sensor ranges from hundreds to thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, depending on the accuracy and distance.
Having said so much, you probably know how to choose a rangefinder/rangefinder sensor product next time. Firstly, it is necessary to understand the approximate measurement distance. Ultrasonic rangefinders/distance sensors cannot measure ultra long distances, and laser rangefinders/distance sensors are not cost-effective for short distances.

Logistics transportation is safer! The cost of transporting industrial control goods in Shanghai has never been included in the selling price of the product you purchased. As long as you need it, we will provide free services for you. In terms of transportation, Shanghai Tebing Industrial Control generally uses express delivery to ship because express delivery generally focuses on product safety. When packaging, there will be fillers such as sponge inside, which can avoid damage during transportation. At the same time, express delivery has a short transportation time, thereby reducing customer waiting time.
