Properties

 

Ultrasonic sensors are best suited for detection of objects with very different surfaces and materials, and under harsh environmental conditions such as dust, dirt, fog, bright light where they have clear advantages compared to inductive, capacitive and optical sensors.

 

The ultrasonic proximity switch UPL 200 is designed for detection at close range up to 200mm. It has a fixed switching distance and no setting elements (only an LED). Thus it is ideally suited for lateral approximation of objects, e.g. on conveyors.

 

No Blind Zone

 

 Due to its high power SONARANGE transmitter and the M30 surface, for most objects the UPL sensor works without a blind zone,( the zone closest to the sensor where conventional ultrasonic sensors cannot detect targets.)  Very bad reflectors (e.g. some textiles) or very small objects (<15mm) may not be detected within the blind zone but will still be detected at distances  above 80mm.
