The UC40 is a compact ultrasonic sensor for medium distances that precisely detects the distance, presence or position of objects, regardless of material color and ambient light. That means it is also suitable for level monitoring and collision avoidance.
Thanks to the convenient push-lock mounting concept and integrated analog and digital interfaces with IO-Link, the UC40 can be installed quickly and used anywhere. A rotatable sensor head facilitates alignment while IO-Link and teach-in buttons accelerate parameterization. The sonic cone can be adjusted variably to the requirements on site. Interference signals can be easily suppressed. This increases performance and ensures reliable object detection.
Until next time, Peace ✌️
