UGT588 is an IFM ultrasonic sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection and distance measurement over an extended sensing range. The sensor provides stable detection of different objects without depending strongly on colour, transparency or surface finish. Its compact industrial construction supports machine integration and automated control. It is suitable for conveyors, packaging systems, material handling, positioning and general industrial automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
UGT588 is designed for industrial applications requiring dependable ultrasonic object detection. Its sensing principle enables non-contact detection of targets that may be difficult to detect using conventional optical technologies. The compact housing allows installation in automated machinery and production equipment. The sensor provides practical sensing capabilities for position and distance-related automation tasks.
The sensor generates ultrasonic signals and evaluates their response from detected objects. This enables reliable distance-based detection without physical contact with the target. Programmable output functionality allows the sensor to be adapted to different machine-control requirements. Its compact design and industrial construction support convenient installation and long-term operation.
UGT588 is suitable for conveyor monitoring, packaging machinery, object positioning and material handling systems. It can detect a wide range of target materials and surface conditions. The sensor is useful where stable non-contact detection is required. It can also support automated production systems that require repeatable object presence and distance monitoring.
