Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CAD22NPM1TI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CAD22NPM1TI is a high-performance M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection and distance sensing in industrial automation applications. Part of the UA18CAD Series, it offers a wide sensing range from 200 to 2200 mm and is particularly useful where optical sensing can be affected by an object's colour, transparency or surface characteristics.
Featuring two configurable NPN transistor outputs and convenient Teach-In adjustment, the UA18CAD22NPM1TI can be configured to suit different detection requirements. A standard M12 connector simplifies installation and replacement, while the threaded M18 cylindrical format enables straightforward mounting on machinery and automated equipment.
The sensor operates from a 15–30 VDC supply and combines a durable PBT plastic housing with IP67 protection. With a switching frequency of up to 1 Hz and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, it provides dependable ultrasonic detection for production, handling and process automation systems.

Reliable Ultrasonic Detection for Industrial Automation
Ultrasonic sensing uses high-frequency sound waves to detect objects without physical contact. Because detection is based on reflected sound rather than visible light, the UA18CAD22NPM1TI is suitable for many targets where colour, surface finish or optical contrast can make conventional photoelectric detection more challenging.
With its broad 200–2200 mm operating range, dual configurable NPN outputs and Teach-In functionality, the UA18CAD22NPM1TI provides a versatile solution for presence detection, distance monitoring and level-related applications. Its M18 PBT housing and IP67 protection further support reliable integration into industrial machinery and automated processes.
Typical Applications
- Object presence and distance detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Industrial level and fill monitoring.
- Assembly and automated manufacturing equipment.
- Applications involving difficult-to-detect optical targets.
