The SICK UM12 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 cable. Select variants also come equipped with an IO-Link interface, for increased adjustment versatility and remote monitoring. All units come standard with a durable, compact M12 metal enclosure with an IP65 and IP67 rating, ideal for tight installation spaces. An operating temperature range of –25 to 70°C allows the UM12 sensors to withstand extreme and harsh environments.

Applications

• Detection, measurement or positioning of shiny and transparent materials
• Level control for liquids and bulk materials
