IFM UGT521 is an ultrasonic sensor using the UGB00300FOKG/US configuration for non-contact detection in industrial automation. Its ultrasonic operating principle allows objects to be detected without physical contact and with reduced dependence on colour, transparency and surface appearance. The sensor is suitable for automated machinery, conveyor systems, packaging equipment and material handling applications. Its compact industrial design supports convenient integration into machine-control systems where dependable object detection is required.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
UGT521 provides ultrasonic object detection for industrial automation applications. The sensor uses reflected sound waves to identify objects positioned within its detection area. This allows non-contact sensing of different types of industrial targets. Ultrasonic technology provides a useful alternative to optical sensing when the target's visual properties may create detection difficulties.
The UGB00300FOKG/US configuration is designed to provide ultrasonic detection information to automation equipment. The sensor transmits acoustic energy and evaluates the returning echo from a target. This operating principle allows the system to detect objects without physical contact. The resulting output can be used for machine sequencing, presence monitoring and automated material handling.
UGT521 is suitable for compact automation systems where object detection is required. It can be applied to conveyors, packaging machinery, assembly systems and production equipment. Ultrasonic sensing supports reliable detection of many different target surfaces and materials. This provides useful flexibility when objects change colour or when optical sensing may be affected by the target surface.
The sensor should be mounted with the sensing face directed toward the target and with sufficient clearance for ultrasonic propagation. Proper alignment supports stable detection. Its compact construction makes it suitable for installation in machinery with limited space. Non-contact operation helps eliminate mechanical interaction with the target while providing continuous object monitoring.
