The IFM UIT513 ultrasonic sensor is designed for reliable non-contact detection and distance measurement in industrial automation systems. With a long sensing range, ultrasonic operating principle and robust threaded housing, it can detect a wide range of objects without depending strongly on colour or surface appearance. Its configurable switching and analogue outputs make it suitable for automated material handling, level monitoring, positioning and process-control applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The UIT513 uses ultrasonic technology to detect objects by transmitting and receiving ultrasonic sound waves. This enables dependable detection of objects with different colours, textures and surface characteristics. The sensor provides a long detection range of 350 to 6000 mm and uses an M30 threaded housing for industrial installation. Its teach button and configurable output functions simplify commissioning in automation equipment.
The sensor is designed for consistent object detection where optical sensing may be affected by colour, transparency or lighting conditions. It operates with a 75 kHz transducer frequency and provides both switching and analogue output functionality. The analogue current output can be configured from 4 to 20 mA, while the switching output supports industrial control functions. This combination makes the sensor useful for both detection and measurement tasks.
The UIT513 is suitable for material presence detection, distance measurement, positioning and process monitoring. Its ultrasonic sensing principle allows it to detect suitable solid or liquid targets without physical contact. The long sensing range is useful for conveyors, storage systems, packaging machines and automated production equipment. Its robust industrial construction supports continuous use in demanding automation environments.
The UIT513 combines long-range ultrasonic sensing, configurable outputs and compact industrial construction in one sensor. Its M30 threaded design allows straightforward mounting, while the 10–30 V DC supply supports common automation power systems. The sensor provides a practical solution for applications requiring dependable detection and measurement without relying on target colour.
