Wenglor U1KT002 Ultrasonic Sensor Overview
The Wenglor U1KT002 is a premium, compact miniature ultrasonic distance sensor designed for precise non-contact measurement and position monitoring. This highly versatile sensor works independently of an object’s color, transparency, or surface finish, making it the ideal solution for detecting challenging targets like clear liquids, dark materials, or high-gloss components. Equipped with an integrated analog output alongside smart digital interfaces, it functions effortlessly as a high-precision distance scanner with automatic temperature compensation.
