IFM UGT523 is an ultrasonic sensor with UGB01200FOKG/US configuration designed for non-contact object detection in industrial automation. The sensor uses ultrasonic technology to detect targets without depending primarily on colour, transparency or surface appearance. Its design is suitable for automated production systems, conveyors, packaging machinery and material-handling equipment. By providing reliable detection information to a control system, UGT523 can support object monitoring, machine sequencing and automated process control.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
UGT523 provides ultrasonic object detection for industrial applications requiring reliable non-contact sensing. It uses acoustic reflection to determine the presence of a target within the sensing area. This technology is suitable for many different object materials and surfaces. The sensor can be incorporated into machine automation systems where consistent detection is required for production and handling operations.
The UGB01200FOKG/US configuration uses ultrasonic waves for object detection. The sensor evaluates the reflected signal from the target and provides an electrical response to the automation system. This allows the detected object to be used as an input for machine sequencing. Ultrasonic sensing provides flexibility where target appearance may vary during production.
UGT523 is suitable for material handling, packaging and production applications where objects must be detected automatically. Its non-contact sensing principle allows moving products to be monitored without mechanical contact. Ultrasonic operation can also be useful for targets that are difficult to detect optically. This supports reliable object presence and position monitoring in industrial automation systems.
The sensor should be installed with suitable alignment toward the target and sufficient clearance for ultrasonic propagation. Correct installation helps maintain stable detection. The industrial construction supports integration into automated machines and production equipment. Non-contact operation reduces mechanical interaction with moving products while providing a practical sensing method for continuous industrial operation.
