The SICK UC30 Series Ultrasonic Distance Sensor offers reliable, accurate contact-free detection up to 8m in distance. This is accomplished 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 buttons offer straight forward adjustments, with select variants configured with NPN, PNP or NPN/PNP outputs, or 4 to 20mA / 0 to 10V outputs. An IO-Link interface is also available for maximum 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 UC30 sensors to withstand extreme and harsh environments.

Applications

• Level regulation for liquids and bulk materials
