fm, a global leader in sensor technology and automation solutions, proudly introduces the UGT3—a full-metal ultrasonic sensor designed to excel in the most demanding industrial environments. Combining exceptional durability with advanced ultrasonic technology, the UGT3 sets a new standard for precision, reliability, and toughness in extreme conditions. Engineered for industries where traditional sensors fall short, the UGT3 is the perfect solution for food and beverage processing, chemical manufacturing, and aggressive cleaning processes. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers unparalleled resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and mechanical stress, ensuring peak performance and an extended operational lifespan. The UGT3’s state-of-the-art ultrasonic sensing technology excels at detecting objects even in the toughest conditions. It provides precise detection regardless of surface texture, transparency, or colour—making it indispensable in scenarios where optical sensors often fail. To enhance reliability further, the sensor features proprietary background suppression technology, ensuring accurate performance even in noisy or interference-prone environments.
With an IP68/69K-rated stainless steel housing, the UGT3 is
FULL-METAL ULTRASONIC SENSOR FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
built to withstand high-pressure washdowns and extreme environmental challenges. It meets the strict hygiene standards of industries like food and pharmaceutical production, making it ideal for applications with rigorous sanitation requirements. The sensor is capable of detecting objects up to 1,200mm away with exceptional accuracy, all while enduring harsh cleaning agents, temperature fluctuations, high humidity, and mechanical impacts. Ease of use is at the heart of the UGT3’s design. Its compact form factor and standardised mounting system make installation straightforward, while intuitive IO-Link connectivity ensures seamless integration with existing, or new, automation systems. This enables real-time data access for improved operational efficiency, predictive
