Datasensing UT Series

The UT Series represents a flexible and high-precision family of ultrasonic proximity and distance sensors, engineered to perform consistently where traditional optical sensors fail. These sensors detect objects and measure distances using sound waves, enabling accurate operation on transparent, reflective, shiny, dark, or irregular surfaces.

With adjustable sensing ranges, user-friendly teach-in, and durable construction, the UT Series is ideal for industrial automation, packaging lines, filling processes, conveyor systems, and robotics.

Design & Functionality

  • The UT Series uses advanced ultrasonic technology to ensure stable detection and measurement across a wide range of target materials.
  • Key design advantages include:
    β€’ Non-contact sensing ideal for fragile or glossy objects.
    β€’ Stable performance regardless of surface color or transparency.
    β€’ Multiple detection ranges suitable for short- and mid-distance applications.
    β€’ Teach-in configuration for easy setup and flexibility across different tasks.
    β€’ High immunity to dust, steam, humidity, and lighting conditions.
    β€’ Compact construction, enabling installation in tight industrial spaces.
  • The UT Series is suitable for continuous-operation industrial environments requiring accuracy and durability.

 Important: The UT Series guarantees reliable detection even of transparent and reflective surfaces, making it an excellent choice for packaging and material-handling systems.

Total Crossed Beams

(Ultrasonic cone coverage as equivalent)

  • The UT generates a uniform ultrasonic cone that ensures complete sensing across the monitored area.
  • Provides high repeatability even with irregular or vibrating objects.

Beam Pitch Options

(Interpreted as range and cone-width variations)

  • Available in different sensing ranges and beam widths:
    β€’ Narrow-beam models for precise small-object detection
    β€’ Wide-beam models for broader area or level control
  • Supports varied applications from conveyors to tank-level detection.

 Important: Multiple beam configurations allow the UT Series to adapt to fine detection tasks as well as wide-area measurement applications.

Intrinsic Synchronism

  • Internal ultrasonic timing prevents cross-interference between nearby UT sensors.
  • Ensures stable multi-sensor operation in large packaging or logistics systems.

Operational Advantages

  • Not affected by color, transparency, or surface reflectivity
  • Suitable for dusty, humid, or foggy environments
  • Accurate distance measurement with stable response
  • Teach-in setup for quick commissioning
  • Durable housing suitable for heavy-duty industrial use

Applications

  • Conveyor and object detection
  • Liquid or solid level measurement
  • Package presence verification
  • Robotics and positioning systems
  • Packaging and filling machinery
  • Storage and material handling
