ua18cld06po – ult prox lp m18 diffuse pnp no cable
Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06PO is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor with an adjustable 100–600 mm sensing range, PNP normally-open output, 18–30 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection for industrial object detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06PO Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06PO is a compact M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CL series, it combines an integrated amplifier with a PNP normally-open switching output for straightforward connection to PLCs and machine-control systems.
The UA18CLD06PO provides an adjustable 100–600 mm sensing range and operates at a switching frequency of up to 25 Hz. Its ultrasonic operating principle detects targets using reflected sound waves, making it useful where object colour, contrast or visual appearance could make conventional optical detection more difficult.
Designed for industrial installation, the sensor operates from an 18–30 V DC supply and is supplied with an integral 2 m cable. Its threaded M18 PBT housing, IP67 environmental protection and built-in electrical protection functions provide a durable sensing solution for automated machinery and material-handling equipment.

Reliable Ultrasonic Detection for Industrial Automation
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06PO detects objects by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and evaluating the reflected sound signal. Because this operating principle does not depend on visible light, it can provide reliable presence detection for many targets regardless of variations in colour or surface contrast.
Its PNP normally-open transistor output makes the sensor suitable for direct integration with compatible PLC digital inputs and industrial control equipment. Combined with its adjustable sensing distance, 25 Hz switching capability, robust M18 construction and IP67 protection, the UA18CLD06PO is well suited to repetitive detection duties on automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Object presence detection on conveyors.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and logistics equipment.
- Automated assembly systems.
- Position and proximity monitoring.
- Detection of targets with varying colour or contrast.
- Industrial manufacturing equipment.
- PLC-based machine automation systems.
