MB1033 Sensor Launches with Improved Noise Tolerance
Minneapolis, Wednesday, 19 February 2025.
The MB1033 HRLV-MaxSonar-EZ3 introduces enhanced noise tolerance for precise measurements up to 5000mm, ideal for engineers seeking robust sensing solutions.
Technical Specifications and Capabilities
The MB1033 ultrasonic sensor delivers impressive precision with a measurement range of 300mm to 5000mm and a resolution of 1mm [1]. Operating at a consistent 10Hz read rate, the sensor maintains an accuracy typically at 1% or better [1]. The device’s versatility is evident in its broad operating temperature range of -0°C to +65°C and flexible power requirements, functioning effectively between 2.5V to 5.5V while maintaining a remarkably low current draw of just 3.1mA [1].
Advanced Noise Management Features
What sets this sensor apart is its sophisticated noise handling capabilities. The MB1033 incorporates advanced firmware filtering and waveform signature analysis to ensure reliable readings even in challenging environments [1]. The system employs real-time automatic calibration and continuously variable gain adjustment, making it particularly effective at filtering out interference while maintaining measurement accuracy [1].
Integration and Implementation
Engineers will appreciate the sensor’s compact form factor, measuring less than one cubic inch, with convenient mounting solutions [1]. The MB7950 mounting hardware facilitates straightforward through-hole installation [1]. Recent field testing has revealed some considerations for implementation - when using the sensor with Arduino-based systems, proper voltage matching is crucial, as demonstrated by developer experiences with 3.3V systems [2]. The sensor’s pulse width measurement capabilities require careful calibration to achieve optimal results [2].
Market Availability and Accessibility
The sensor is currently available through authorized distributors, with volume pricing incentives offering discounts starting at 5% for orders of 5-9 units [1]. For enhanced connectivity, the manufacturer offers various connector options, including 90-degree 7-pin headers and straight connectors [1]. The product is supported by comprehensive documentation, including detailed design cycle guides to assist engineers from concept through to full production deployment [1].
