The SICK UM18 Series Ultrasonic Distance Sensor offers reliable, accurate contact-free detection up to 1300mm, 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 M18 metal enclosure with an IP65 and IP67 rating, ideal for tight installation spaces. Straight and angled axes variants offer further application flexibility. An operating temperature range of –25 to 70°C allows the UM18 sensors to withstand extreme and harsh environments.

Applications

• Detection, measurement and positioning of dark, shiny, and transparent materials
• Level regulation for liquids and bulk materials
• Diameter check for metal, paper, and plastic coils
• Continuous detection of fabrics and wire grids
• Collision avoidance
• Outdoor applications
