The IFM UGR500 ultrasonic sensor provides reliable non-contact distance and object detection for industrial automation. It features an M18 threaded housing, 10–30 V DC operation, IO-Link communication and a sensing range of up to 1600 mm with a defined target. Temperature compensation and a narrow 15° aperture angle support dependable detection. Its PNP output, programmable switching function and robust protection features make it suitable for level, presence and position monitoring applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The UGR500 is an ultrasonic sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection and distance measurement. It uses ultrasonic waves, allowing detection of objects without relying on colour or surface appearance in the same way as optical sensors. Its M18 x 1 threaded housing supports straightforward machine installation. IO-Link communication provides parameterisation and diagnostic possibilities. The sensor is suitable for demanding industrial automation applications.
The sensor is suitable for presence, position and distance detection in automated machinery. Ultrasonic sensing can provide reliable detection of many object types without requiring direct physical contact. Its 2 Hz switching frequency is suitable for many machine-monitoring tasks. IO-Link enables convenient parameterisation and diagnostics. The M18 housing allows easy integration into machine frames, conveyors and production equipment.
