New Ultrasonic Sensors from Carlo Gavazzi

Ultra Sonic Sensors by Carlo Gavazzi and Sords Electric

Carlo Gavazzi is proud to introduce the new UA Series ultrasonic sensor family with improved functionality in a state of the art design.

The UA Series features longer sensing ranges and an excellent cost/performance ratio, making them the premier ultrasonic sensor in the market today. With their simple teach procedure and shorter M18 or M30 diameter housing, the sensors are ready to tackle the most difficult distance and level applications.

This new UA Series of ultrasonic sensors has two different output configurations. The first has two digital outputs in either NPN or PNP. The second has an analog output in either 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC, as well as one digital output in NPN or PNP. The two digital outputs can be set as standard switching outputs with two set points or as a window function. The analog output can be set with a positive or negative slope for both filling and emptying applications.

The sensors are available in four different sensing distances: 400, 900, 2,200 and 3,500mm. They come with both pre-cabled or M12 connector versions. They are designed for use in a wide variety of applications, including material handling, food & beverage, packaging, plastics, agriculture, printing and automotive.

The new Carlo Gavazzi ultrasonic sensor series of UA18 and UA30 sensors provide superior sensing solutions with a good price-performance-ratio for a variety of industry applications. The Carlo Gavazzi UA sensors are excellent at non-contact position and distance measurement and they are able to detect any target regardless of its color, transparency or surface.

Because of the sensors resistance to high and low temperatures and immunity against dust, steam and fumes, the Gavazzi UA sensors are especially well suited to harsh environments. Carlo Gavazzi UA18 and UA30 Ultra Sonics come in a two digital output version and a combined version with one digital and one analogue output. Sensing distances go from 50 to 3500 mm and both cable and plug (M12, 4 pin) versions are available.

Due to improved technology, an extended sensing distance and a reduced housing length, these Ultrasonic sensors make for a state of the art sensor family with high accuracy, versatility and resilience!

Featuring two digital outputs, the Carlo Gavazzi digital UA sensors can operate in two different modes: normal switching or adjustable hysteresis. The outputs are independently teachable via the teach- in button. Modes are easily set and adjusted for on/off or filling/emptying functionality. NPN or PNP.

The analog Carlo Gavazzi UA sensors offer a combined output configuration: one digital and one analogue output. The analogue output of 4-20 mA or 0-10 VDC can be configured as either “positive slope” or “negative slope”. The slope is defined by two teachable setpoints.

The digital output forms a sensing window in which the output is either active or inactive between the setpoints (P2 and P1). These are useful features for distance measurement, level measurement, diameter measurement or loop control.

Diameter measurement

The UA18 and UA30 sensors are ideal for accurate measurement of changing diameters, such as reels and drums in paper, aluminium and other metal manufacturing, textile, plastics and packaging industries. The sensors provide a precise output of the diameter in rolls or drums as it changes when materials wind or unwind.

Parts counting & presence detection

Because of their superior ability to detect clear, transparent objects and to measure distance, the UA18/UA30 sensors are a perfect choice for a wide range of applications. Parts are precisely detected and positioned and objects or persons are counted by the UA18/UA30 sensors in areas dealing with people, robots, glass, fluids, food & beverage, solid objects, car wash and materials handling.

Level detection

The UA18 and UA30 sensors are superb at detecting the level of fluids, semi fluids and solids, such as water in a tank or grain in a container. Typical applications include printing machines, hoppers, agricultural manufacturing, food & beverage, water treatment, chemical industry, analysis work and power plants.

Tension control

Monitoring and control of speed, position and tension of materials being processed are efficiently and accurately performed by the UA18/UA30 sensors. The sensors monitor the slope of loops and synchronise the speed between machines, securing a stable working flow. These features are useful in metal working, paper, aluminium, textile and plastics manufacturing as well as packaging and chemical industries.

Height and size measurement

The UA18 and UA30 sensors are succesfully used in applications which measure the height or size of objects moving past the sensor or for stacking operations in industries such as the automotive industry, printing machines, metal working, package & distribution, food & beverage, bottle sorting, agriculture, robots, the electronics industry, glass and materials handling.

P&F Ultra Sonic Sensors

Pepperl and Fuchs manufactures Ultra Sonic switches and sensors.

Pepperl and Fuchs Ultrasonic sensors present the ideal solution for non-contact position and distance measurement in all industrial areas where environmental conditions such as dust, smoke or steam may affect the sensors. Objects consisting of a variety of materials can be detected to within millimeters regardless of color or shape.
The ultrasonic sensor produces a data carrier utilizing very high frequencies that are outside the human’s audible range. The time it takes for that ultrasonic wave to pass between the sensor and the object is the value for the distance or the position. Ultrasonic sensors have proven their reliability and precision in many industries, including lumber and furniture, construction materials and equipment, farming equipment and in level control applications.
Pepperl+Fuchs’ ultrasonic sensors currently encompass twelve series of mechanical designs for through-beam, direct detection and retro-reflective operation. Customer and application specific custom solutions underscore our technological competence in this area of sensors.
Product features:
Devices with TEACH-IN functionality for fast and simple installation
ULTRA 3000 software for improved adaptation of sensors to applications
Adjustable sensitivity to the sound beam width for optimized adjustment of the sensor characteristics according to the application
Temperature compensation - compensates for sound velocity due to varying air temperatures
Synchronization input to prevent cross-talk interference when sensors are mounted within close proximity of each other
Sensors with digital and/ or analog outputs

A Pepperl and Fuchs ultrasonic through-beam sensor consists of a transmitter and a receiver that are installed so they are facing each other.
The working principle of ultrasonic through-beam sensors is based on the transmission of a sound wave from the transmitter to the receiver being interrupted by the object that is being detected. The transmitter generates an ultrasonic signal that is evaluated by the receiver. When the ultrasonic beam is damped or interrupted by the object being detected, the receiver output switches states.
No electrical connections are required between transmitter and receiver and the functionality of the ultrasonic through-beam sensors is also independent of the installation location. To prevent dirt particles from accumulating, however, we recommend placing the transmitter facing up when components are mounted vertically.
Product Features:
Long detection ranges since the ultrasonic beam only travels in one direction
Short response times
Less subject to faults and thus very suitable for applications in difficult conditions
Additional installation expense since both units have to be wired.

In the direct detection system,

The transmitter and receiver are in the same housing in this type of ultrasonic sensor. A single ultrasonic transducer is switched cyclically between transmit and receive mode. The object itself acts as the sound reflector.
Product features:
The sensing range depends on the reflectivity of the object, including the surface properties and the angle of incidence. These effects can be compensated for (within limits) by a sensitivity adjustment
Low installation expense, since the sensor consists of just one unit
Sensitive to changes in the reflective properties of the target
Dual transducer system
Placing separate transducers for transmitting and receiving next to each other in the same housing significantly reduces the blind range since there is no need to wait for the transmitter signal to decay.
Ultrasonic sensors with discrete outputs and analog outputs are available as direct detection sensors. All direct detection sensors that support the "Window mode" output function can also be used as retro-reflective sensors (see retro-reflective sensors).
