Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18EAD15PGM1TI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18EAD15PGM1TI is a robust diffuse reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object and distance detection in industrial automation applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18EAD ultrasonic sensor series, it combines an M18 stainless steel housing with a PNP switching output and 4–20 mA analogue output for flexible integration into modern control systems.
This sensor provides a sensing range of 200–1500 mm with a blind zone of up to 200 mm. Ultrasonic sensing allows reliable detection without depending primarily on the target's colour or optical contrast, while integrated teach-in functionality enables the sensor to be configured to suit the application.
With a 15–30 V DC supply, PNP digital output, 4–20 mA analogue output, M12 connector and IP67 protection, the UA18EAD15PGM1TI is well suited to industrial machinery, material handling, level and distance monitoring, packaging equipment and automated production systems.

Reliable Ultrasonic Detection and Analogue Measurement
Ultrasonic sensors detect targets by transmitting high-frequency acoustic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. This non-contact sensing principle enables dependable detection and distance measurement across many industrial applications, including situations where the colour, contrast or visual appearance of a target can vary.
The UA18EAD15PGM1TI combines a PNP switching signal with a 4–20 mA analogue output, allowing the sensor to provide both discrete object detection and a proportional measurement signal to compatible PLCs, controllers and monitoring equipment. Its stainless steel construction, teach-in functionality and industrial M12 connection support dependable integration into automated machinery.
