The new wenglor U1KM ultrasonic sensors detect objects up to three metres away from a housing of just 32 × 16 × 12 mm – long range where installation space is tight.
Three metres of range in the 1K format
With the U1KM series, wenglor brings long-range ultrasonic detection to its smallest housing. The sensor can register up to five objects at the same time, so one unit can keep track of busy conveyor sections and more complex machine areas.
- 1K miniature housing, 32 × 16 × 12 mm, fits where larger sensors will not
- Detection range up to 3 m and up to five objects at once
- Multiplex and synchronous operation, so several sensors work side by side without disturbing each other
- MEMS transducer for high EMC immunity and stable readings
- IO-Link 1.1 with clear display of detected objects, IP62 protection
The U1KM is aimed at logistics, packaging and machine building – for example presence and height detection on conveyors or picking from stacks. Since it is inaudible to the human ear, it also suits manual assembly stations and other areas where a quiet working environment matters.
Configured and ready to mount
SCN can set the IO-Link parameters before delivery, so the sensor is ready to install, and supply it together with matching cables as one kit. Our sensor specialists help you choose between the U1KM and the wenglor ultrasonic sensors already in our range, such as the U1KT001 for short distances of 30–400 mm.
