URM06 - Narrow Beam Ultrasonic Distance Sensor (20~1000cm, UART)
The URM06-UART Ultrasonic Sensor is a high-performance, long-range distance sensor designed for accurate object detection and measurement. With a measuring range of 20 cm to 10 meters and a resolution of 1 cm, it is ideal for applications such as robot navigation, obstacle avoidance, and industrial measurement.
Housed in a durable PVC casing with a 35 mm electrical pipe mounting design, the URM06 is both compact and robust, suitable for a wide variety of environments. The sensor features a 15-degree narrow beam angle that offers excellent directional accuracy and high sensitivity, especially effective when detecting soft materials.
Whether you're building a mobile robot, an industrial level sensing system, or precision measuring equipment, the URM06 offers reliability, performance, and ease of integration.
