Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15POM1 Ultrasonic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15POM1 is a compact and reliable M18 ultrasonic diffuse-reflective proximity sensor designed for non-contact object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. Its ultrasonic sensing principle enables dependable detection of many materials without relying on target colour, transparency or optical contrast.

The UA18CLD15POM1 provides an adjustable sensing range of 200–1500 mm and features a PNP normally open switching output. With an operating frequency of 8 Hz and load current capability below 500 mA, it provides a practical switching solution for object presence, positioning, material handling and level-related applications.

Designed for an 18–30 V DC supply, the UA18CLD15POM1 combines an M18 × 97 mm cylindrical housing with an M12 connector for convenient plug-in installation. Its IP67 protection rating, yellow LED indication and integrated short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection support dependable operation in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Medium-Range Non-Contact Detection

Ultrasonic proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15POM1 transmit high-frequency sound waves towards a target and evaluate the returning echo to determine whether an object is present within the configured sensing range. Because detection is based on reflected sound rather than visible light, ultrasonic technology can detect many objects regardless of colour or optical contrast.

The adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range provides useful reach for industrial automation applications where shorter-range proximity sensors may not be suitable. Its PNP normally open output provides a straightforward switching signal for compatible PLCs and industrial control equipment, while the M12 connector enables convenient plug-in installation and replacement.

Typical Applications

• Object presence and position detection.
• Industrial machinery and automation systems.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• Level and fill-state detection.
• Component detection on production lines.
• PLC-controlled automation systems.
• Medium-range non-contact detection.
