Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
UGT518 is designed to provide reliable ultrasonic object detection for industrial machines. The sensor emits ultrasonic waves toward a target and evaluates the returning signal to identify the target. This approach reduces dependence on visible target characteristics and makes ultrasonic sensing useful for many industrial materials. The sensor can provide machine controllers with detection information required for automated processes.
The UGA02200HOKG/US configuration uses ultrasonic detection to identify objects without physical contact. Its sensing principle is based on the reflection of sound waves from the target surface. The resulting detection information can be used for switching operations in automated systems. This makes the sensor useful for monitoring object movement, machine positions and production processes.
UGT518 is suitable for automated detection tasks where objects need to be monitored consistently. It can support conveyor applications, material handling, packaging and machine automation. Ultrasonic sensing can operate effectively with many objects regardless of colour and can be useful where optical detection is difficult. The sensor provides a practical method for incorporating object detection into automated machine sequences.
The sensor should be installed so that the ultrasonic beam has a suitable path toward the target. Proper sensor alignment and target positioning help achieve dependable detection. Its compact design supports installation within industrial machinery. By providing non-contact sensing, UGT518 can monitor moving objects without physical wear while offering a flexible solution for automated process monitoring.
