The Pepperl+Fuchs UC4000-L2-U-V15 Ultrasonic Sensor is a versatile and highly reliable detection solution designed for industrial automation tasks that demand accuracy and adaptability. Unlike optical sensing technologies that may struggle with transparent, shiny, or dark surfaces, ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to provide consistent and precise detection, making them suitable for a wide range of materials and environmental conditions. With a generous sensing range of up to 4,000 mm, the UC4000-L2-U-V15 allows operators to cover both close-up detection and long-distance object measurement without sacrificing accuracy or stability. This broad range is particularly beneficial in applications where objects of varying sizes and positions need to be reliably detected.

Housed in a robust M30 cylindrical body, this sensor is built for durability and mechanical stability, even in demanding environments where dust, moisture, or vibrations are present. The IP67 protection rating ensures resistance against water ingress and dust accumulation, making it suitable for use in production lines, logistics systems, packaging machines, or material handling equipment. Its rugged construction minimizes downtime and ensures long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements or maintenance.

One of the notable advantages of the UC4000-L2-U-V15 is its ability to detect a wide variety of object types without being affected by surface color or reflectivity. From transparent glass bottles to dark rubber materials or shiny metallic components, the sensor maintains accurate detection where optical alternatives may fail. This versatility is critical for industries such as automotive, food and beverage, and intralogistics, where product diversity is high and process reliability is essential.

The sensor is designed with user-friendly connectivity in mind, equipped with a standardized V15 connector for straightforward electrical integration. This ensures compatibility with most industrial control systems, simplifying installation and commissioning. The flexible output options allow it to adapt easily to various automation architectures, providing users with the freedom to integrate it seamlessly into their existing setups.

Overall, the Pepperl+Fuchs UC4000-L2-U-V15 Ultrasonic Sensor represents a highly dependable sensing solution for applications that require precision, robustness, and flexibility. Its combination of long-range detection, rugged housing, and immunity to challenging surface characteristics makes it an indispensable component in modern automation environments. By delivering reliable detection under nearly all operating conditions, this sensor helps maintain process efficiency, product quality, and system uptime, offering both performance and durability that operators can trust.
