ua18cls15pom1 – ult prox lp m18 thru scan pnp no pig tail
Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLS15POM1 is an M18 ultrasonic through-scan proximity sensor with an adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range, PNP normally-open output, 18–30 V DC supply, M12 connection and IP67 protection for industrial object detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLS15POM1 Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLS15POM1 is an M18 ultrasonic through-scan proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CL series, it uses an ultrasonic reference-object sensing principle and provides a PNP normally-open switching output for straightforward integration with PLCs and machine-control systems.
The UA18CLS15POM1 provides an adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range and operates at a switching frequency of up to 8 Hz. Its through-scan operating principle monitors the presence of a reference object and detects when the ultrasonic path is interrupted, providing dependable detection where target colour, contrast or transparency may make optical sensing less suitable.
Operating from an 18–30 V DC supply, the sensor features a durable M18 PBT housing and an M12 plug connection. IP67 ingress protection, high load-current capability and built-in short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection make it suitable for demanding industrial machinery and automation installations.

Reliable Through-Scan Detection for Industrial Automation
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLS15POM1 uses ultrasonic energy to monitor a reference object across its sensing field. When another object interrupts or alters the expected ultrasonic signal, the sensor switches its output, providing dependable presence detection without relying on visible light or target colour.
Its PNP normally-open transistor output allows straightforward connection to compatible PLC digital inputs and industrial controllers. Combined with its adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing distance, robust M18 construction and IP67 protection, the UA18CLS15POM1 is well suited to repetitive detection tasks on automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Object presence detection on conveyors.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and logistics systems.
- Detection of transparent or visually difficult targets.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Position and passage monitoring.
- Industrial manufacturing machinery.
- PLC-based machine automation systems.
