Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
UGT512 is a long-range ultrasonic sensor intended for reliable industrial object detection and distance sensing. The ultrasonic principle allows the sensor to detect objects without physical contact and provides a practical solution for materials that can be difficult to detect using conventional optical technologies. Its IO-Link interface supports modern automation requirements and allows convenient configuration, monitoring and diagnostic communication between the sensor and controller.
The sensor is designed for long-range ultrasonic detection and can be used for monitoring object position, distance and presence. Ultrasonic measurement is useful when the detected object's colour or optical appearance changes during production. The technology can provide dependable detection across different materials and surfaces. This makes the UGT512 suitable for conveyor applications, material handling and automated processes where consistent object detection is required.
IO-Link provides digital communication for parameterisation, diagnostics and integration with automation controllers. This helps simplify commissioning and allows sensor settings to be managed from the control system. The sensor is designed for practical industrial operation with clear status indication. Its configurable functionality makes it suitable for automation applications requiring repeatable switching and reliable distance-related detection.
UGT512 can be applied in manufacturing machinery, packaging lines, conveyors, material handling equipment and process automation. Its non-contact measurement principle reduces mechanical interaction with moving products. The sensor is particularly useful where objects vary in colour, transparency or surface appearance. Its industrial construction supports dependable operation in automated production environments.
