Reliable Ultrasonic Measurement for Industrial Automation

Ultrasonic sensors operate by transmitting high-frequency sound waves towards a target and analysing the returning echo. This non-contact measurement method provides reliable detection of objects that may be difficult to sense using optical technologies, including transparent, reflective or irregularly shaped materials.

The UA18CLD20PPM1TR uses advanced microprocessor-controlled electronics and digitally filtered ultrasonic measurement to provide accurate switching performance. Its programmable dual PNP outputs and teach-in adjustment allow engineers to configure the sensor for different automation requirements without mechanical adjustment.
