The U-GAGE T30UX ultrasonic sensor has been introduced by Banner Engineering for use in challenging applications. With its extended functional range and advanced temperature compensation, the T30UX sensor withstands hostile environments, providing superior ultrasonic sensing to solve even the toughest application challenges. The sensor features a robust U-GAGE housing to resist harsh environmental conditions and provides a variety of model options to meet a broad range of application requirements.
The devices are available in a choice of three ranges for reliable sensing from 100 mm to 3 m and deliver high-accuracy performance with built-in temperature compensation across a wide range of ambient temperatures. The compensation allows the sensor to self-correct for its environment and maintain the highest accuracy in changing conditions.
The rugged IP67 (NEMA 6) housing and fully encapsulated electronics together with the 30 mm threaded barrel and selection of mounting brackets allow simple installation of this robust sensor in harsh environments. Additionally, models are available with a single analogue or user-configurable discrete output, and all models provide highly visible LED status indicators for power, signal strength and output.
The T30UX sensor is easy to set up through pushbutton TEACH-mode programming, and it offers remote TEACH for increased security and convenience. High-accuracy sensing in a range of harsh environments makes the units ideal for a wide variety of applications, including:
* Liquid level monitoring in tanks.
* Web loop control.
* Slurry monitoring in vats.
* Clear bottle detection.
* Automotive glass detection.
* Repeatable detection of targets of various colours.
