Application Ideas ...
Water and Wastewater Treatment
Harsh outdoor conditions, moisture, and dirt: water and wastewater treatment present a serious challenge for most sensors. The UCC*-50GK, however, is equipped for a variety of applications in this sector with an IP66/67 rating and a PTFE protective film that prevents contaminants from adhering to the transducer. Fill levels in sand traps, clarification tanks, and digestion towers can be detected by this durable sensor with a wide ambient temperature range (-25 °C … +70 °C) and temperature compensation.
Silos
When it comes to material storage, building industries and agricultural operations benefit from the UCC*-50GK. The robust and versatile sensor is ideally suited for monitoring silos containing cement, gravel, sand or grains, animal feed, and mineral nutrients. Three unique beam patterns combined with a wide sensing range of up to 4 m give users the flexibility to adapt to every possible space constraint within their silos. Aggressive materials do not affect the transducer as it is shielded by a protective PTFE film.
Recycling and Waste Containers
From plastic, glass, paper, or residual waste containers to compactors—the UCC*50-GK enables smarter and more efficient waste management processes. A compact, threaded housing design allows the UCC*-50GK to be easily mounted in confined containers, while three unique beam patterns ensure precise sensing in these tight spaces. What’s more, with a power save mode and standby function, operating times become even longer. The sensors are also suitable for solar- and battery-powered systems.
Services Bots and Small AGVs
Smaller automated guided vehicles (AGVs) like cleaning and feeding robots can be equipped with UCC*-50GK ultrasonic sensors—establishing cost-effective collision detection. With their compact housing dimensions, the sensors can easily be integrated into such AGVs. Contaminants, which cleaning and feeding robots are constantly exposed to, cannot adhere to the PTFE protected transducer. Both indoor and outdoor usage is possible due to a wide temperature range and integrated temperature compensation.
