The SICK UC12 Series Ultrasonic Distance Sensor offers reliable, accurate contact-free detection by utilizing acoustic pulses which reflect off an object, also known as time-of-flight measuring. Ultrasonic technology permits distance measurement across various solid, powdered, and liquid materials, without limitations due to color, transparency, or ambient light. Teach-in adjustment is easy and quick via digital outputs. Select variants also come equipped with an IO-Link interface, for increased adjustment versatility and remote monitoring. All units come standard with a durable enclosure with an IP65 and IP67 rating. An operating temperature range of –25 to 70°C allows the UC12 sensors to withstand extreme and harsh environments.

Applications

• Detection, measurement or positioning of shiny and transparent materials
• Level control for liquids and bulk materials
• Diameter check for metal, paper, and plastic coils
• Continuous detection of fabrics and wire grids
• Detection of dark wooden boards and shiny metal parts
