IFM UGT517 is an ultrasonic sensor with UGA01600F2KG/US configuration designed for non-contact detection in industrial automation applications. It uses ultrasonic technology to detect targets without relying primarily on object colour, transparency or visual surface characteristics. The sensor is suitable for automated machines requiring dependable object presence and position feedback. Its compact industrial construction supports installation in production lines, material handling systems, packaging machinery and other factory automation equipment.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
UGT517 provides non-contact object detection using ultrasonic sensing technology. The sensor evaluates reflected ultrasonic energy from the target to determine its presence or position. This sensing principle provides an alternative when conventional optical sensors may have difficulty detecting particular materials or surfaces. The sensor can be integrated into automated machinery to provide reliable information for machine sequencing and process control.
The UGA01600F2KG/US model is designed as part of the UGT ultrasonic sensor family. Ultrasonic sensing works independently of many visual target properties, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial materials. The sensor provides an electrical output that can be used by an automation controller. This enables detection information to be incorporated into machine-control sequences, positioning tasks and production monitoring.
UGT517 can support applications involving object presence, position monitoring and automated handling. Its ultrasonic operating principle is useful for targets whose colour or transparency may change during production. Non-contact operation helps prevent mechanical interference with moving objects. The sensor can therefore be used in packaging, conveyor, assembly and manufacturing systems where stable detection is required.
For reliable operation, UGT517 should be mounted with a suitable sensing path toward the target. Installation should consider target size, orientation and sensing distance. The compact construction supports integration into automated machinery without requiring excessive installation space. Its ultrasonic technology provides a flexible detection solution for industrial applications where conventional optical sensing may not provide the required reliability.
