The Pepperl+Fuchs UB300-18GM40-E4-V1 ultrasonic sensor is a high-performance detection solution engineered to provide reliable and precise measurements across a broad spectrum of industrial automation tasks. Designed for versatility, this sensor uses ultrasonic sound waves to detect objects, making it an excellent choice for applications where traditional optical sensors may struggle. Unlike photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic technology is unaffected by object color, surface finish, or transparency, ensuring consistent detection of both matte and glossy surfaces, as well as transparent materials like glass or plastic. With a sensing range of up to 300 mm, the UB300-18GM40-E4-V1 is ideally suited for close-range applications where high accuracy and repeatability are critical.

The sensor is housed in a robust cylindrical M18 enclosure, making it compact and easy to install in both new and retrofit applications. Its rugged construction ensures reliable operation even in harsh industrial conditions such as dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. The stainless-steel housing enhances durability and guarantees long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements or maintenance. This makes it particularly well-suited for environments such as packaging lines, material handling systems, and assembly processes where durability is non-negotiable.

The UB300-18GM40-E4-V1 comes equipped with a PNP switching output, providing seamless integration with standard PLC systems and automation controllers. This flexibility allows it to be used in a wide variety of industrial setups without the need for additional interface modules. The sensor’s output configuration ensures stable performance when detecting targets within its specified range, supporting reliable signal transmission to downstream control systems. Additionally, the sensor features an M12 V1 connector, which allows for quick, secure, and error-free wiring during installation or replacement. This connector system reduces downtime, simplifies integration, and ensures a safe electrical connection.

Another key advantage of this ultrasonic sensor is its adaptability to challenging applications. Whether the requirement involves detecting objects with irregular shapes, monitoring levels of granular materials, or ensuring precise positioning in confined spaces, the UB300-18GM40-E4-V1 delivers consistent performance. Its insensitivity to environmental disturbances such as ambient light, dust, or vapor further enhances its reliability, making it an essential component in production environments where accuracy and uptime are crucial.

Overall, the Pepperl+Fuchs UB300-18GM40-E4-V1 ultrasonic sensor combines advanced sensing technology, rugged housing, and user-friendly connectivity to deliver dependable detection in demanding industrial settings. It is a versatile and cost-effective solution for automation engineers seeking accuracy, durability, and easy integration in one compact package.
