SICK - Ultrasonic level measurement for liquids and bulk materials

Small construction, great pressure resistance.

UP56 is the name of the latest level sensor in SICK’s portfolio. Ultrasound, material selection, and the sensor design make the device a universal solution.
Using a uniform operating design, the UP56 supplements the successful UP30 series from SICK. This opens up new possibilities in applications with container pressures of up to six bar and filling levels up to 5,000 mm.
Flexibility through non-contact measurement
The temperature compensated ultrasonic measurement permits a very precise and reproducible determination of levels for solid and liquid media – even in case of a high proportion of contamination or high viscosity. Teflon and PVDF, the materials of the UP56, which can be used in a temperature range of –25 °C to +70 °C, are accordingly resistant.
Ready for operation quickly
The “3 in 1” device design of the new level sensor – analog level signal, switching output, and operating display are integrated into the device – ensures fast and easy installation and start-up. In the process, the automatic signal detection detects immediately whether the analog measuring value requires output as a current or voltage signal – which facilitates integration further.
