Hybrid sensors UQ Series

Datasensing UQ Series

The UQ Series provides a versatile line of ultrasonic distance and presence sensors, engineered to detect objects independent of colour, transparency or reflectivity. With hybrid-style housings (cubic/M18 format), tuneable outputs (digital + analog/4-20 mA), teach-in capability and strong environmental protection, these sensors deliver reliable performance across a broad range of applications.

Design & Functionality

• Hybrid housing (cubic body with M18 head) enables versatile mounting in compact spaces. 
• Key features include:
  • Adjustable sensing distance via push-button teach-in for flexible installation. 
  • Analog + digital outputs (e.g., 4-20 mA + NPN/PNP) enabling integration in control systems. 
  • High protection rating (IP67), temperature compensation, and stable performance under harsh conditions. 
  • Available detection ranges: ~40-300 mm, ~60-800 mm, ~80-1200 mm depending on variant. 
• The UQ Series is tailored for applications requiring stable detection of any material — including transparent, dark or reflective surfaces — with minimal adjustment effort.

 Important: The UQ Series is designed for material-independent detection and long-range capability, making it especially suitable when optical sensors fail.

Total Crossed Beams

(In this context: complete ultrasonic coverage rather than literal beams.)

• The ultrasonic transducer design ensures a uniform detection field, which results in consistent object detection across the sensing range.
• This leads to higher repeatability and fewer false detections, even when objects vary in surface or position.

Beam Pitch Options

(Interpreted as variants in sensing range and beam aperture.)

• Standard range sensor: ~40-300 mm.
• Mid-range variant: ~60-800 mm. 
• Long-range variant: up to ~1200 mm. 
• These options allow you to choose the model best suited to your application’s distance, mounting space and object size.

 Important: The range variants make the UQ Series adaptable from compact sensing tasks to long-distance measurement.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• The UQ Series features built-in electronics that synchronise emission and reception internally, eliminating the need for external synchronisers.
• Ensures consistent detection in multi-sensor setups without interference and simplifies wiring and installation.

Operational Advantages

• Material-independent detection: Transparent, reflective, dark, or standard objects are all reliably sensed.
• Extended detection distances cover a wide variety of application scopes.
• Flexible output formats (digital + analog) facilitate integration into modern control systems.
• Robust industrial design ensures steady operation in demanding environments.
• Applications: Presence detection on conveyors, level monitoring of solids or liquids, packaging automation, object distance sensing, intralogistics and manufacturing lines.
