Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD20AKTR Ultrasonic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD20AKTR is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor with analogue output and remote teach-in, designed for continuous non-contact distance measurement in industrial automation applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD remote-teach series, it combines an extended sensing range with configurable analogue output behaviour for flexible integration into PLC, machine-control and process-monitoring systems.

The UA18CLD20AKTR provides a 200–2000 mm sensing range and a 0–10 V DC analogue output. Remote teach-in allows the analogue measurement range and output slope to be configured for the application, enabling either positive or negative output behaviour according to the taught target positions.

Designed for industrial use, the sensor operates from an 18–30 V DC supply and features a robust M18 × 93 mm PBT housing with an integral 2 m cable. IP67 environmental protection, an operating temperature range of -15 to +70 °C and built-in protection against short circuits, reverse polarity and transients support dependable operation in demanding automation environments.

Reliable Remote-Teach Ultrasonic Measurement

The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD20AKTR determines target distance by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and evaluating their returning echoes. Because measurement is based on sound rather than visible light, the sensor can provide reliable measurement of many targets where differences in colour or optical contrast would otherwise complicate detection.

Its 0–10 V DC analogue output provides continuous distance information for compatible PLC analogue inputs and industrial controllers. Remote teach functionality allows two target positions to define the measurement span and enables the analogue slope to be configured as positive or negative, providing flexibility for distance, position and level-monitoring applications.

Typical Applications

• Continuous distance and position measurement.
• Tank, vessel and container level monitoring.
• Roll and reel diameter measurement.
• Material level monitoring in industrial equipment.
• Packaging and material handling machinery.
• Conveyor and automated production systems.
• Machine positioning and process measurement.
• PLC and control systems using 0–10 V analogue inputs.
