The URM06-RS485 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is a high-performance, narrow-beam sensor designed for precise and long-range distance measurement. Using ultrasonic pulses, it calculates the distance to an object by measuring the time between pulse emission and echo reception. It delivers accurate detection in a wide range of industrial and robotics applications, including displacement sensing, obstacle avoidance, level monitoring, and detection of transparent or soft-surface targets.
With a measuring range of 20 cm to 10 meters and 1 cm resolution, the URM06-RS485 offers strong performance in both short and long-distance scenarios. Housed in a rugged PVC enclosure and designed to fit standard 35 mm electrical pipe mounting, it’s ideal for integration in environments where stability and precision are essential.
The sensor features a 15° beam angle, providing excellent directional sensitivity and minimizing interference from surrounding objects. Its RS485 communication interface supports reliable, long-distance data transmission, making it well-suited for industrial control systems.
Widely used in professional robotics platforms such as Pioneer robots, the URM06 series is known for its superior sensitivity, beam control, and measurement accuracy.
