en.Wedoany.com Reported - German wenglor has launched the U1KM series miniature ultrasonic sensors, which achieve a sensing range of three meters within a compact housing measuring 32×16×12mm. Designed for industrial automation applications in logistics, packaging, and mechanical engineering.
The U1KM ultrasonic sensors measure 32×16×12mm and offer a maximum sensing distance of up to three meters. Their compact form factor allows installation in machines and production equipment with limited space, without compromising the detection range.
These sensors can detect up to five objects simultaneously, enabling a single device to monitor multiple targets within the sensing area. This feature is suitable for scenarios requiring reliable tracking of multiple objects, such as conveyor belt monitoring, packaging line control, object positioning, and automated material handling.
The sensors integrate an MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)-based ultrasonic transducer designed to enhance electromagnetic compatibility stability. By reducing sensitivity to electromagnetic interference, this technology helps maintain stable measurements in electrically demanding industrial environments.
For systems requiring multiple ultrasonic sensors, the U1KM series supports multiplexing and synchronous operating modes. These functions prevent interference between adjacent sensors, ensuring consistent measurements even when multiple sensors operate in close proximity.
The U1KM series supports IO-Link 1.1, enabling parameterization, process data exchange, and diagnostic information retrieval via a standardized industrial communication interface. Detected objects can be monitored through IO-Link, allowing sensor data to be integrated into digital automation systems, condition monitoring platforms, and predictive maintenance strategies.
These sensors feature an IP62 protection rating and operate quietly, making them suitable for assembly stations and production environments with low noise emission requirements. The combination of compact size, long sensing range, and diagnostic capabilities is designed to simplify integration with modern automation systems.
