Hyde Park Electronics designs and manufactures non-contact sensors for some of the most difficult applications. Depending on the application, Hyde Park provides variations of three sensing modes called proximity, retroreflective and thru-beam. Completely self-contained and sealed, Hyde Park ultrasonic sensors are practically unaffected by changing light conditions, colors, dust, splashing food, messy liquids, caustic cleaning solutions, frequent washdowns and humidity. With other types of sensors, one or even a combination of these conditions can cause unreliable sensing, which results in periodic stopping to check, clean and sometimes readjust the sensors. For many conventional sensors, some objects are difficult to detect. Because Hyde Park utilizes sound energy rather than light, the company s ultrasonic sensors are effective in detecting a variety of objects as small as 0.003 inch. Headquarter in Dayton, Ohio, Hyde Park Electronics is privately owned and employs nearly 50 people.
