Ultrasonic Cubic sensors UH Series

Datasensing UH Series

The UH Series represents a high-performance family of ultrasonic distance and presence sensors, engineered to provide precise and reliable detection regardless of surface color, transparency, or texture. Unlike optical sensors that depend on reflectivity, the UH Series uses ultrasonic waves, ensuring consistent performance even on challenging materials such as glass, liquids, shiny metals, textiles, or bulk products.

These sensors are widely used in industrial automation, intralogistics, packaging machinery, and filling systems due to their strong immunity to ambient light, dust, steam, and variations in surface reflectivity.

Design & Functionality

• The UH Series uses non-contact ultrasonic technology to measure distance and detect objects with high stability.
• Key features include:
  • Wide sensing ranges, suitable for short-, medium-, and long-distance detection.
  • Analog or digital outputs, depending on the model (PNP, NPN, 0–10V, 4–20 mA).
  • Teach-in configuration, enabling fast setup and calibration for dynamic applications.
  • Robust housing, designed for harsh industrial environments with high humidity, dust, or temperature variations.
  • Internal temperature compensation, ensuring consistent measurement accuracy.
• The UH Series is designed for both static and dynamic applications, offering smooth detection of moving objects, irregular shapes, or soft materials that can deform under optical scanning.

  Important: The UH Series provides reliable detection of transparent, reflective, and dark objects, where optical sensors commonly fail — making it ideal for labeling, packaging, filling, and warehouse automation.

Total Crossed Beams

(Interpreted as complete coverage within ultrasonic cone)

• The UH’s ultrasonic cone provides full coverage of the detection zone, equivalent to reliable cross-beam coverage in optical systems.
• This ensures stable and repeatable detection, even with irregular objects or materials that shift position.

Beam Pitch Options

(Based on sensing range and beam width variations)

• Various models offer:
  • Narrow-beam versions for precise detection and small targets.
  • Wide-beam versions for large objects or level measurement.
• This flexibility allows UH sensors to be used in conveyors, tanks, robotic pick-up systems, and more.

   Important: Multiple beam widths allow the UH Series to be perfectly matched to either precision sensing or wide-area coverage.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• Internal synchronization prevents cross-talk when multiple ultrasonic sensors operate in close proximity.
• The system ensures consistent operation in multi-sensor installations without interference.
