Through-Beam Cylindrical ultrasonic Single/Double Sheet Detection sensor for UDC-18GM-400

UDC-18GM-400 is an M18 cylindrical ultrasonic single/double sheet sensor, primarily used for detecting three material states: no sheet / single sheet / double sheet. It is suitable for printing, packaging, paper processing, and other applications. The detection distance is 20–60mm (optimal 45mm), the transducer frequency is 395kHz, operating voltage is 18–30VDC, and no-load current is <80mA. It uses the ultrasonic time-of-flight principle, requires no teaching (TEACH), has multiple built-in evaluation programs, and can adapt to different materials without programming. It is not affected by printing, color, or reflective surfaces and is compatible with materials ranging from 10–2000g/m² (from thin paper to metal foil). Equipped with green / yellow / red fully visible LEDs, indicating single sheet, no sheet, and double sheet states respectively. The output comprises 3 NPN normally closed switches, with a response time of about 15ms, IP67 protection, and a 2-meter PVC cable suitable for harsh industrial environments.

    Working Principle

     The single and double sheet ultrasonic sensor works by measuring the 'difference in acoustic impedance.' The probe emits ultrasonic waves at a fixed frequency, which penetrate the sheet to be tested.  
    Single sheet: The ultrasonic waves penetrate a single layer of material, and the reflected/transmitted energy remains stable.  
    Multiple sheets: There will be an air layer between the sheets (even if they are touching), causing a sudden change in acoustic impedance, which greatly increases the reflected energy and sharply decreases the transmitted energy.  
    The sensor’s built-in algorithm detects the energy difference and outputs a switch signal (single sheet passes, multiple sheets trigger an alarm).

    Product Features

    1. Non-contact detection, no wear, does not damage materials
    2. Wide range of compatibility, not limited by material properties
    3. High detection accuracy, capable of distinguishing ultra-thin multilayers
    4. Strong anti-interference capability, suitable for harsh industrial environments
    5. Fast response speed, suitable for high-speed production lines
