Precise ultrasonic distance sensors

The new generation of the ultrasonic sensors U300, U500 and UR18 impresses with reliable integrated setting and filter options via the IO-Link interface in every situation. The choice of the preset sonic cone width (narrow, medium, wide) allows individual adjustment to the format. This means that different application options can be reliably handled by a single sensor, reducing variant diversity. Watch the video to find out more about the setting and filter options and how you can benefit from them. What is more, the unique combination of the shortest blind region on the market and extensive range offers new opportunities for machine construction and simplifies the design process.

Sectors and application areas

The selected altAttribute does not exist!

Packaging industry

High standards for process safety combined with maximum flexibility for the detection of various packaging materials and shapes

Increase plant availability and master variant diversity: Ultrasonic sensors detect objects regardless of material, color, transparency, and gloss, as well as surface properties. The parameter server function and fast parameterization via the IO-Link interface allow simple and fast format changes.
Save development time and costs: Fast design-in of the ultrasonic sensors thanks to a very short blind region with a long range, small design, and standard hole spacing.

Electronics industry

Differently perforated and glossy surfaces with narrow space requirements for sensors

Save development time and costs: Fast design-in of the ultrasonic sensors thanks to a very short blind region with a long range, small design, and standard hole spacing.
Maximize plant availability: Ultrasonic sensors detect objects regardless of material, color, transparency, and gloss, as well as surface properties.
Increase throughput: Short response times and high repeatability enable maximum throughput.

Feeding technology

Wide variety of object geometries and surfaces with narrow space requirements for sensors

Highest process safety: Safe object detection independent of the object. Not affected by dust, light, or moisture.
Save development time and costs: Thanks to integrated adjustment and filter options, various application requirements can be optimally met with one sensor type. This reduces the variety of sensors and thus warehousing costs.

Ultrasonic proximity switches – Funtionality of ultrasonic sensors

Functionality of ultrasonic sensors

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
