How MaxBotix
Ultrasonic Sensors Work

Our ultrasonic sensors work by sending out a sound wave at a frequency above the range of human hearing. The transducer of the sensor acts as a microphone to receive and a transmitter to send the ultrasonic sound. Our ultrasonic sensors, like many others, use a single transducer to send a pulse and to receive the echo. The sensor determines the distance to a target by measuring time lapses between the sending and receiving of the ultrasonic pulse.

Trusted in Global Industrial Deployments

Our sensing technology is the reliable backbone for high volume monitoring systems worldwide.


The Engineering Standard for Ultrasonic Sensing

Our Ultrasonic sensors offer precise, contactless monitoring in even the most demanding environments. We provide accurate fill-level data for solids and liquids alike — helping teams respond faster, plan better, and operate more safely.

Works in dusty, wet, or corrosive conditions

Monitors both liquids and granular solids

No physical contact — no clogging or fouling

Reduces manual labour and prevents overflows


Over 1 Million Sensors Sold

MaxBotix has a proven record of tailoring over one million ultrasonic sensor solutions to the exact needs of integrators—delivering reliable performance at the volumes your projects demand. We understand that accurate and dependable sensing is critical to your success, which is why we’re committed to providing industry-leading ultrasonic sensors designed to meet the diverse requirements of robotics, automation, environmental monitoring, and smart systems.


Precision Sensors for Every Tank

MaxBotix sensors are engineered to provide precise measurements across different tank categories, ensuring that whether you are managing grain, water, or hazardous chemicals, you have the right hardware for the job.

Agricultural Tanks

Monitor vital resources across remote sites without the need for manual inspections or climbing hazardous tank ladders.

Industrial Tanks

Maximize operational efficiency in high-capacity manufacturing and municipal settings where real-time volume data is critical for process automation.

Chemical & Corrosive Tanks

Maintain safety and data integrity in environments where harsh vapors or reactive fluids would destroy standard sensing equipment.

Reliable Sensing for Harsh Industrial Environments

MaxBotix sensors move beyond "standard" monitoring to provide hyper-specific technical advantages that protect your system’s integrity and your bottom line.

Non-Contact Integrity

Measure levels without direct fluid contact to ensure system integrity and prevent mechanical wear.

Environmental Resilience

Built to withstand harsh conditions, including high temperatures, humidity, and corrosive chemical vapors.

Precise Data

Achieve 1mm resolution and consistent performance across diverse applications.

Exceptional Longevity

Sensors are designed for a 200,000-hour MTBF, minimizing failure points and ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Smarter Fill-Level Monitoring with Ultrasonic Sensors

Ensure precise, contactless level measurement for bins and tanks across industrial and agricultural applications. Ultrasonic sensors provide accurate readings regardless of dust, temperature shifts, or liquid types, eliminating manual checks and reducing waste or overflow incidents.
