The ultrasonic sensors of the UB*-F42 series offer an unprecedented variety of advantages, functions, and adjustment options. These include the variable diameter of the sound beam, a particularly small dead band, automatic synchronization, a teach input, and a high degree of protection (IP67). The IO-Link interface simplifies commissioning and parameterization. Parallel to the measured values, it transmits a wide range of diagnostic data for analysis and predictive maintenance.

Two versions of the UB*-F42 series with different detection ranges are also available in the sidelooker version. This design means that the ultrasonic transducer is rotated 90 ° in the housing, enabling the sensor to be easily installed in very confined spaces.

The resilient principle of measurement used by the ultrasonic sensors and the flexible device concept of the UB*-F42 series enable the devices to be used in a wide variety of applications. The areas of use range from fill level detection and intralogistics to mechanical production.

The SmartRunner Measurer 3-D captures objects completely in 3D in a single recording cycle and delivers directly usable measurement data – without any external image processing. In addition to volume [l] and dimensions [mm], it also determines rotation [°] and the exact position of an object.

Thanks to integrated stereo vision technology, the sensor works quickly and precisely, even at conveyor speeds of 2.5 m/s. It is suitable for static and dynamic applications, e.g., in conveyor technology, robotics, and pick-and-place.

Commissioning is intuitive thanks to live preview, definable ROI, and adjustable parameters for difficult surfaces. Images are available for alignment and analysis, but the results are output directly as measured values. Compact design, flexible mounting, and the absence of IPCs reduce costs and simplify integration.

For a direct view into a system and the recording of events, Pepperl+Fuchs offers the VOC industrial event camera. The camera continuously records the last 900 seconds of a live video stream in a circular buffer. Activated by a trigger signal, an image or video cut is generated. This 1,800-second sequence documents the cause of the event and the subsequent status. As only relevant situations are recorded, the corresponding events can be identified quickly and easily.

The device is specially designed for use in harsh industrial environments and for economical use of data streams. The event camera has a large field of view and can be mounted at a distance of five centimeters to more than ten meters from the monitoring area.

The R305 is a retroreflective area sensor that monitors a broad detection field instead of a single beam. It consists of multiple emitters and a receiver, making it ideal for detecting objects of varying shapes and sizes. With a detection range of up to 4 m or a minimum detectable object (MDO) of 2 mm, it ensures high precision.

Via IO-Link, parameters can be adjusted, including switching between Standard and High-Resolution Mode. The sensor also measures object height, enabling sorting and quality control. Conveyor belt suppression prevents false detections, while individual beam blanking allows for specific shape detection.

An alignment LED simplifies setup, and Auto-Teach with Smart Signal Compensation ensures stability under changing conditions. A side-looker bracket offers flexible mounting options. The R305 provides maximum adaptability for industrial automation and quality assurance applications.
