Detect a Wide Range of Materials and Surfaces

The UTR series is capable of detecting a variety of materials, including transparent and metallic objects, powders, and liquids, regardless of the surface's color, pattern, texture, or gloss. These ultrasonic sensors are also designed to accurately measure the distance to target objects.

High-Precision Detection and Measurement

Since ultrasonic waves rely on air as a transmission medium, they are sensitive to temperature fluctuations. The UTR series is equipped with a temperature tracking algorithm that ensures stable and precise detection, effectively eliminating noise and disturbances for accurate measurements.

Extended Sensing Distance of up to 8 Meters

With the ability to detect objects at distances of up to 8 meters, the UTR series is well-suited for challenging environments, including those with high temperatures.

Advanced Functions for Optimal Performance

The UTR series offers a range of advanced features designed for optimal detection, including detection width adjustment, temperature compensation, and measurement filtering. These functions can be easily configured using the atDistance software, with additional options available through the UT-P ultrasonic sensor programming units.

Adjustable Detection Width

Users can customize the detection width to narrow, medium, or wide settings, depending on the specific requirements of their detection environment.

Teaching Function

The teaching function allows users to configure parameters and functions based on the current distance values, enhancing the sensor's adaptability.

Measurement Filtering Options

To avoid unwanted measurements, users can apply various filters such as foreground, moving average, and combined filters. The strength of these filters can be adjusted to meet specific needs.

Foreground Suppression Feature

This feature enables users to extend the area from which outputs can be excluded, enhancing measurement accuracy.

Temperature Compensation (Automatic/Manual)

To ensure accurate measurements in varying environmental conditions, users can apply either automatic or manual temperature compensation.

Synchronization Capability

By using multiple sensors simultaneously, users can expand the detection area, increasing the detection width. This synchronization can be applied to up to 10 sensors at once.

Multiplexing Functionality

The multiplex function prevents interference between multiple sensors and allows users to set the sequence of operations among them, supporting up to 10 sensors.

Durable 316L Stainless Steel Construction

The UTR series features a body made from 316L stainless steel, providing high corrosion resistance, making it ideal for industries such as food and beverage, as well as pharmaceuticals.

360˚ Ring Type Indicator and Display

The UTR series includes a 360˚ ring-type indicator that is visible from any direction. Models with display panels offer real-time display of current and parameter set values, enhancing user convenience.

Ultrasonic Sensor Programming Units (Sold Separately)

With the UT-P ultrasonic sensor programming unit, users can monitor real-time values and easily configure various functions using the unit's buttons.

IO-Link Communication

Models equipped with IO-Link technology allow users to monitor sensor status, facilitating easier maintenance.

Dedicated Software (atDistance)

The atDistance software provides an intuitive graphical interface for setting up, configuring, and monitoring ultrasonic sensors, making it easy for users to manage and maintain their sensors.
