Datasensing US30 Series

The US30 Series provides a premium grade family of ultrasonic sensors, engineered to deliver high-precision distance measurement, object presence detection, and transparent/reflective surface independence in industrial settings. With long sensing ranges, automatic temperature compensation, multiple output types, and simplified configuration, this series addresses demanding applications where optical sensors struggle.

Design & Functionality

  • The US30 features a standard M30 threaded tubular housing, suitable for various mounting configurations and harsh environments. 
  • Key features include:
    β€’ Wide operating range from approximately 200 mm up to 8000 mm (8 m) depending on model. 
    β€’ High resolution and repeatability (1 mm) ensuring accurate measurement of objects and distances. 
    β€’ Selectable outputs – digital (PNP/NPN NO/NC) or analogue (0-10 V / 4-20 mA) providing maximum flexibility. 
    β€’ Remote teach programming and DIP-switch configuration, making setup fast and tool-free. 
    β€’ Temperature compensation to maintain accuracy across –20 Β°C to +70 Β°C range, and rugged design for harsh industrial settings. 
  • Thanks to its ultrasonic technology, the US30 can detect any object regardless of material reflectivity, colour or transparency β€” making it ideal for objects that optical sensors cannot reliably sense. 

   Important: The US30 stands out for its material-independent detection, extended sensing distance, and multi-output flexibility, making it an excellent choice for advanced industrial automation.

Total Crossed Beams

(In this context: full field coverage via ultrasonic detection rather than literal crossed beams)

  • The ultrasonic transducer provides a consistent sensing field, ensuring that slight object movement or alignment shifts do not compromise detection.
  • This ensures high repeatability, low false alarms, and robust performance, even in dynamic production settings.

Beam Pitch Options

(Interpreted as variants in range and housing/output configuration)

  • Standard range versions (~200 mm to 2 m) for conveyors and packaging tasks. 
  • Extended range versions (up to 8 m) for wide-area detection or distance measurement. 
  • Multiple configurations in tubular housing (front emission, radial emission) and output types allow adaptation to diverse machine layouts.

 Important: The variety of models ensures the US30 can adapt from compact conveyor tasks to long-range industrial detection scenarios.

Intrinsic Synchronism

  • Internal electronics manage ultrasonic timing and echo processing, eliminating the need for external synchronisers when several sensors are installed in proximity.
  • Installation is simplified, and the setup is reliable, enabling high-density sensor layouts without interference.

Operational Advantages

  • Reliable detection independent of colour, transparency or reflectivity
  • Long detection distance (up to 8 m) for broad range applications
  • Flexible output options (digital and analogue) for measuring or switching use
  • Robust industrial housing with IP67 rating and temperature compensation
  • Applications: Transparent film detection, object distance measurement, packaging lines, material handling, tank level sensing, robotics β€” anywhere ultrasonic reliability, long-range capability, and versatile integration are required.
