U18T Ultrasonic Sensors in Stainless Steel Housing

With the U18T ultrasonic sensors, the wenglor sensoric group offers a series in the usual M18 design in stainless steel housing, which impresses with its high stability and reliability. The U18T sensors are ideal for detecting shiny, transparent and dark objects and can even reliably detect mirrored surfaces. With the existing IO-Link interface, the ultrasonic sensors are suitable for flexible integration into various systems in a detection range of up to 2,400 mm.

The U18T series is available as variants with switching and analog output. The working range is up to 1,200 mm in reflex mode, and up to 2,400 mm in through beam mode. The U18T ultrasonic technology includes different operating modes for precise adaptation to different application situations: The automatic synchronous mode is optimally designed for detecting objects without delay. This means that up to 32 sensors can be operated in parallel in this mode. Multiplex operation, in turn, is ideal for level monitoring of large areas and enables joint operation of up to 16 sensors without mutual influence.
The stainless steel housing ensures high stability and is robust against environmental influences thanks to the IP67 degree of protection. The integrated IO-Link interface provides flexibility in parameterization and configuration. The teach button and the freely available wenglor wTeach2 software make setting up the U18T sensors quick and easy so that they are ready for use quickly and reliably.
