Robust ultrasonic distance sensors – U500 and UR18

The next generation of ultrasonic sensors excels with reliability in any situation due to the integrated setting and filter options via IO-Link interface. The unique combination of the narrowest blind zone on the market combined with the large sensing range provides new freedom in machine construction by simplified design-in.

The U500 and UR 18 ultrasonic sensors are more robust than ever and highly cost-efficient. Due to a hermetically sealed sensor element with an extremely robust PEEK foil, the ultrasonic sensor becomes considerably more robust.

Thanks to the OneBox design, they are identical in design and size to their optoelectronic pendant, offering the user maximum flexibility in the planning phase or for later retrofitting measures.

The integrated settings and filters allow the ultrasonic sensors to be optimally adjusted to the application. This not only reduces the variant diversity but also ensures an even more reliable solution. The video shows the following examples:

• The flexibly adjustable sound cone for a stable measurement
• The reliable double sheet detector
• The interrupt filter using the example of a clock unit

• Reliable detection of a wide range of carrier materials regardless of color, gloss, or transparency
• Short blind region for obstacle-free design-in

• For precise distance measurement of loop depth or as a proximity switch for the detection of transparent foils
• Short blind region for obstacle-free design-in

• Detection of a great variety of materials with different geometries
• Flexible sonic cone adjustment for optimal sensor setting to the application

The distance measurement is based on a time-of-flight measurement. The sensor calculates the time between sending and receiving the reflected sound signal.
Advantage: Immunity to moisture, light, steam or object color
