Full-metal ultrasonic sensor for harsh environments

Engineered for industries where traditional sensors fall short, the UGT3 is the perfect solution for food and beverage processing, chemical manufacturing, and aggressive cleaning processes. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers unparalleled resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and mechanical stress, ensuring peak performance and an extended operational lifespan.

The UGT3's state-of-the-art ultrasonic sensing technology excels at detecting objects even in the toughest conditions. It provides precise detection regardless of surface texture, transparency, or colour - making it indispensable in scenarios where optical sensors often fail. To enhance reliability further, the sensor features proprietary background suppression technology, ensuring accurate performance even in noisy or interference-prone environments.

With an IP68/69K-rated stainless steel housing, the UGT3 is built to withstand high-pressure washdowns and extreme environmental challenges. It meets the strict hygiene standards of industries like food and pharmaceutical production, making it ideal for applications with rigorous sanitation requirements. The sensor is capable of detecting objects up to 1,200mm away with exceptional accuracy, all while enduring harsh cleaning agents, temperature fluctuations, high humidity, and mechanical impacts.

Ease of use is at the heart of the UGT3's design. Its compact form factor and standardised mounting system make installation straightforward, while intuitive IO-Link connectivity ensures seamless integration with existing, or new, automation systems. This enables real-time data access for improved operational efficiency, predictive maintenance, and significant cost savings.

Aligned with ifm's commitment to innovation and sustainability, the UGT3 is not only designed for reliable, long-lasting performance but also contributes to resource conservation. By minimising downtime and reducing the need for frequent replacements, organisations can boost efficiency while adopting environmentally responsible practices.

The UGT3 embodies the future of sensing - precision and durability working in perfect harmony. Discover the next generation of industrial sensors, designed to exceed the demands of today and tomorrow.
