The S18U Series Ultrasonic Sensor monitors loop control on a food packaging line to detect any breaks or tears in the clear plastic film. The S18U detects targets regardless of color or transparency.

The U-GAGE S18U sensor may be programmed for either a positive or a negative output slope, based on which limit is taught first. If the Near limit is taught first, the slope will be positive.

Ultrasonic sensors use sound waves rather than light, making them ideal for stable detection of uneven surfaces, liquids, clear objects, and dirty objects.

S18U Series Sensors 126 M & I Ultrasonic Diffuse Mode S18U Ultrasonic Sensor Features • Integrated diagnostic LEDs and push-button programming • Minimal dead-zone • Retro-sonic sensing mode • Temperature compensation circuitry • Programmable background suppression • Analogue or digital versions

The S18U series ultrasonic sensors are temperature compensated. This reduces the error due to temperature by about 90%. The sensor will maintain its window limits to within 1.8% over the -20° to +60° C (−4° to +140° F) range. NOTE: Exposure to direct sunlight can affect the sensor’s ability to accurately compensate for changes in ...
