The Pepperl+Fuchs UB2000-F42-I-V15 Ultrasonic Sensor is a versatile and highly reliable detection solution designed to meet the demanding needs of modern automation systems. With its wide sensing range of 20 mm to 2,000 mm, this sensor provides exceptional flexibility for detecting objects at both short and extended distances. It is particularly effective in environments where conventional optical sensors may struggle, such as detecting transparent, reflective, or irregularly shaped surfaces. By utilizing ultrasonic technology, the UB2000-F42-I-V15 ensures consistent performance even in challenging conditions, making it a dependable choice for industries ranging from packaging and logistics to automotive and material handling.

One of the defining features of this sensor is its durable F42 housing with an IP67 protection rating. This level of environmental protection means the sensor can operate effectively in dusty or wet environments, offering peace of mind in applications that involve splashing water, outdoor conditions, or heavy industrial use. The robust housing not only extends the sensor’s service life but also minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacement, ensuring a lower total cost of ownership for operators. The compact form factor further enhances its usability, making it easy to integrate into tight machine layouts where space is at a premium.

The UB2000-F42-I-V15 is equipped with an analog current output (4–20 mA), allowing it to deliver scalable distance measurement values directly to control systems. This enables users to achieve precise monitoring and control of object positions, levels, or fill heights. Unlike simple switching outputs, the analog functionality makes it well-suited for applications requiring continuous measurement rather than just presence or absence detection. Whether used for tank level monitoring, part positioning, or conveyor line control, this feature enhances process efficiency and quality assurance.

Installation and integration are made simple with the standardized V15 connector, which provides secure and quick electrical connections. This plug-and-play capability reduces setup times and minimizes wiring errors, which is especially important in production environments where downtime can be costly. Furthermore, its ultrasonic sensing principle ensures immunity to ambient light, color, and material variations, providing a reliable performance advantage over optical solutions.

Overall, the Pepperl+Fuchs UB2000-F42-I-V15 Ultrasonic Sensor combines robust construction, wide-ranging detection capabilities, and precise analog output to deliver exceptional value. It is a sensor designed to improve efficiency, reliability, and flexibility in modern automation systems, making it an essential choice for engineers and operators who require consistent, long-lasting detection solutions.
