Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLS06AGM1 Ultrasonic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLS06AGM1 is a compact M18 ultrasonic proximity sensor with 4–20 mA analogue output designed for non-contact distance and position measurement in industrial automation applications. Its ultrasonic sensing technology enables reliable detection of sound-reflective targets without depending on colour, transparency or optical contrast.

The UA18CLS06AGM1 is designed around the Carlo Gavazzi UA18 ultrasonic platform and provides a nominal sensing range of 100–600 mm. Its analogue 4–20 mA output allows target position to be represented as a proportional current signal for connection to compatible PLC analogue inputs, process controllers and monitoring equipment.

With an M18 plastic housing, M12 plug connection and IP67 protection, the UA18CLS06AGM1 is well suited to industrial machinery where compact installation and robust environmental protection are required. The series operates from an 18–30 V DC supply and incorporates protection against short circuits, reverse polarity and electrical transients.

Reliable Non-Contact Distance Measurement

Ultrasonic sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLS06AGM1 operate by transmitting high-frequency sound waves towards a target and evaluating the returning echo. This makes ultrasonic sensing particularly useful where target colour, surface appearance or transparency can make optical detection difficult.

The 4–20 mA analogue output allows measured target position to be transmitted as a robust industrial current signal. This enables straightforward integration with PLCs, controllers and process-monitoring systems for applications requiring proportional position, distance or level information rather than a simple switching output.

Typical Applications

• Non-contact distance measurement.
• Object position monitoring.
• Tank and container level measurement.
• Industrial machinery and automation systems.
• Conveyor and material handling equipment.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• PLC analogue input applications.
• OEM machinery requiring proportional ultrasonic feedback.
