UMB800
All stainless steel ultrasonic sensor
Regulations for automation components used in hygienic applications are strict. The special design of our UMB800 ultrasonic sensors covers all typical demands for use in food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries
When food is packaged by automated machinery, every package must be be filled with the correct quantities before the plastic thermoformed tray is sealed. Ultrasonic sensor UMB800 detects the good regardless of colour, surface or the amount of moisture. Large detection range and reliable switching allow packaging of shells with different fill levels that can all be checked. Hygienic design of the sensor helps to avoid any risk of foodstuff contamination.
Before being packed in blister packaging or poured into bottles, free-flowing pharmaceutical products are temporarily stored in hoppers on the machine to ensure a constant supply in the packaging process. Being able to detect the point of minimum fill quantity is just as important as preventing a container from overfilling at the product supply area. The UMB800 enables fill levels and limit levels to be detected and measured directly in the hoppers.
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the “Technology Guide Ultrasonic Sensors” as a free multimedia download. The technology guide incorporates more than 30 years of expertise in ultrasonic sensor technology, and is beneficial for both beginners and experts. As a special bonus, the technology guide contains animations which are directly embedded in the document. Download your free copy now and get valuable insights and advice for your field work.
Before metal parts can be coated or painted, residues containing oil and grease must be removed from the surface. This takes place in an acid immersion bath. Here, two ultrasonic sensors monitor the presence of the metal parts before and after being immersed in the dip tank. If a part is left behind, the process can be stopped immediately. The fill level of this tank can reliably be controlled using an ultrasonic sensor. If the minimum fill level is reached, the UMB800 with its signal starts the automatic refilling of acid. When reaching the maximum fill level, the ultrasonic sensor switches off the acid feed.
