The XL-MaxSonar® line of MaxBotix® Inc., ultrasonic range sensors has arrived.

This low cost, super high performance sensor is available in both indoor and outdoor versions. The XL-MaxSonar® sensor line maintains the same look and feel of the existing LV-MaxSonar® sensor line, with small size, low power, stable range readings, object detection to the front sensor face, and more, but now has even more reliable distance readings.

The XL-MaxSonar® line has fully automatic real-time background calibration, much higher acoustic output power, greatly improved real-time noise rejection, centimeter resolution, longer distance range measurement, and for some models real-time analog envelope output and various analog hardware gains from 250 to 4000.

These improvements result in virtually noise free distance readings for most users. The XL-MaxSonar® sensor line is available with factory calibrated beam patterns.
