The Datasensing UK6 Series is a family of short‑body ultrasonic sensors in an M18 cylindrical housing designed for reliable non‑contact object detection and distance measurement in compact industrial applications. These sensors use high‑frequency ultrasonic waves to detect objects by measuring the time it takes for the sound wave to reflect back from a target, making them effective even in dusty or difficult environments where optical sensors might struggle. The short housing format is especially suitable for tight installation spaces on assembly lines, robotics, and material handling systems.
UK6 Series sensors are available with a variety of output types including digital PNP or NPN (NO/NC) and analogue 0‑10 V or 4‑20 mA, with options for either an M12 connector or a fixed 2 m cable for easy system integration. Housing materials include both plastic and AISI 316L stainless steel for durability in harsh conditions, and all models are rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress. Sensitivity adjustment is performed via a teach‑in button or cable on most models, and temperature compensation ensures stable performance across a wide operating range.
