Proximity sensors are a useful technology employed in a variety of applications, with usage ranging from human safety to industrial automation. One such device is GX-ML18B-U, a proximity sensor designed specifically for hazardous areas and capable of detecting both metallic and non-metallic objects. It features highly reliable sensing technology and is highly resistant to interference due to its small wavelength. This article will explore GX-ML18B-U’s application field as well as its working principle.

The application field of GX-ML18B-U is varied and extensive. It is suitable for usage in hazardous areas such as those containing explosive or highly corrosive materials, making it perfect for industrial environments. Furthermore, it can also be used to detect the presence of metal objects such as tools or piping in a factory setting. Additionally, because of its small wavelength, GX-ML18B-U is well-suited for areas where there is a high probability of electromagnetic interference. Finally, it can be used in safety applications thanks to its ability to detect human movement and alert when motion is detected.

GX-ML18B-U operates using transmission-reception type detection. The sensor transmits ultrasonic waves into the area it is monitoring and captures reflected or backscattered waves as they return to the reception element. The sensor measures the changes in the amplitude of the received signal and and determines the presence of a target. This method has the advantage of being able to detect both metallic and non-metallic objects. Furthermore, the signal strength depends on the size, shape, orientation, and distance of the target, allowing the sensor to discriminate between different objects. Additionally, GX-ML18B-U utilizes a digital signal processor to reduce false triggering and protect it from interference.

In order to optimize performance for specific applications, GX-ML18B-U employs several distinct detection modes. These include fixed range, target position recognition, target size recognition, and continuous area signaling. In fixed range mode, the sensor can detect changes in the presence of an object when its distance from the sensor changes. For target position recognition mode, the sensor is able to identify the direction from which the object came relative to the main scanning area of the sensor. Target size recognition mode can identify the size of the target while continuous area signaling mode allows for the detection of multiple objects.

GX-ML18B-U is a highly reliable and robust proximity sensor that is well-suited for a variety of applications. Its ability to detect both metallic and non-metallic objects make it ideal for hazardous areas, as well as for safety applications where it can be used to detect human movement. Its variety of detection modes further allows for optimization of the sensor for different applications. With its reliable sensing technology and variety of detection modes, GX-ML18B-U is an ideal choice of proximity sensor for any application.
