Baumer’s latest innovation adds another high-performance sensor to its extensive portfolio for object detection, distance measurement, and level sensing. Measuring just 50 mm in length, the miniature UR12 is not only ultra-compact but also boasts unparalleled speed.

Key Highlights:

  • Compact Design: At a mere 50 mm long, it holds the title of the world’s shortest M12 ultrasonic sensor.
    • This compactness results from highly integrated electronics within its round housing.
  • Exceptional Performance:
    • Features a small blind area of just 15 mm.
    • Offers an impressively fast response time up to 16 ms.

This combination allows design engineers more flexibility in creating space-saving machine designs, even when working with limited installation spaces. The maximum detection range is suitable for various applications, whether it’s standard use or through-beam sensors requiring a longer reach of up to 1000 mm.

Advanced Features

The UR12 comes equipped with several extra functions designed for optimal sensor performance and integration:

  • IO-Link Interface (Standard): Facilitates easy connection and provides valuable secondary data.
    • Enables configuration using the free Baumer Sensor Suite, particularly useful for adjusting sonic lobes.
    • Includes disruption filters to suppress false signals in level measurement applications involving agitators.

For customers requiring a retrofit solution, an IO-Link-free variant is available. Furthermore, its compatible connectors make it easy to replace existing obsolete M12 sensors – simply drop-in replacement with no compatibility issues.

Beyond Standard Tasks

While excelling at standard ultrasonic sensing tasks in industrial automation, the UR12 also enables smart sensor solutions for specific applications:

  • Ideal for double sheet control in battery manufacturing.
    • Perfectly suited for level and leakage monitoring of coolants in electric mobility charging stations.
