IFM UGT522 is an ultrasonic sensor with UGB00800FOKG/US configuration designed for reliable non-contact object detection. It provides an alternative sensing method for difficult surfaces because ultrasonic detection does not primarily depend on object colour, transparency or surface characteristics. IFM highlights its space-saving design, programmable normally open or normally closed output function and visible LEDs for switching and echo status. It is suitable for industrial automation, conveyors, packaging and material handling.

UGT522 is designed for industrial object detection where reliable sensing is required across different target materials. Its ultrasonic operating principle evaluates reflected sound waves instead of relying on visible light. This makes the sensor useful for objects that may be difficult to detect optically. The compact design supports applications with limited installation space and provides practical integration into automated machinery.
The UGB00800FOKG/US configuration uses ultrasonic sensing for non-contact object detection. IFM specifies programmable normally open and normally closed output functions for this model. The sensor also provides clearly visible LED indication for switching and echo status. These features assist with commissioning, troubleshooting and machine operation while allowing the sensor to be integrated into automated control systems.
UGT522 is suitable for industrial applications where target colour, transparency or surface characteristics can affect conventional optical sensors. It can detect objects without physical contact and can therefore be used on moving production lines. Applications include material handling, packaging, conveyor monitoring and machine automation. Its programmable output and status indication provide useful flexibility during machine setup and operation.
The compact design of UGT522 is useful where installation space is restricted. The sensor should be positioned so that the ultrasonic path reaches the intended target reliably. Its programmable output allows the switching behaviour to be configured for the application. Clearly visible switching and echo LEDs also help during commissioning and maintenance, making the sensor practical for industrial automation installations.
