The Baumer UF401V ultrasonic sensor is engineered for maximum reliability, even in the most demanding environments. This sensor is specifically designed for mobile machines operating in challenging conditions.

Built for Harsh Environments

The UF401V’s robust design ensures consistent performance on the shop floor and in outdoor applications. It’s particularly well-suited for agricultural machinery, construction equipment, working platforms, and other mobile machines. Key features include:

  • IP68/IP69K Waterproofing: Provides exceptional protection against water, dust, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
  • Automotive Grade Design: Reduces the need for OEMs to conduct extensive service life tests, accelerating time to market.
  • Compliance with Industry Standards: Meets requirements outlined in ISO14982, EN13309, ISO13766, ISO15003, and EN60947-5-2/-5-7.

Applications

The UF401V excels in applications requiring precise distance measurement, such as:

  • Track Width and Floor Clearance Measurement: Ideal for monitoring machine dimensions.
  • Level Detection: Accurate measurement of surfaces.
  • Position Feedback for Hydraulically Actuated Components: Provides reliable data for controlling machine parts.
  • Presence Monitoring: Detects the presence of objects like bales and bale film.

Smart Interference Compensation

A key advantage of the UF401V is its ability to mitigate interference. The sensor’s intelligent design suppresses temporary disruptions caused by objects (like plants) obstructing the measurement path, ensuring consistent and accurate data.

Robust Design Features

Baumer’s deep understanding of sensor requirements for mobile machines drove the development of the UF401V. The sensor underwent rigorous testing, including the demanding “thermal shock dunk” endurance test.

Key Specifications:

  • Temperature Range: -25 to 70°C
  • Immunity to: Shocks, vibrations, dust, dirt, moisture, condensation, and salt spray.
  • Non-Contact Sensing: Eliminates wear and tear, ensuring long-term reliability.
