Telemecanique SM956A-402-000 Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor

Telemecanique SM956A-402-000 Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor is a non-contact distance sensor that uses 200 kHz ultrasound to detect nearby objects. It offers a sensing range of 0.12 to 2 meters, suitable for short- to mid-range detection in industrial automation and manufacturing settings. This model is part of Telemecanique's ultrasonic sensor lineup and is intended for applications where contactless object detection or distance measurement is preferred to avoid wear or contamination on moving equipment. Typical use cases include detecting presence on conveyors, verifying part presence at machine stations, and providing input signals for automated control systems in robotics and packaging lines. The 200 kHz operating frequency defines the sensor's basic sensing characteristic within its specified range, enabling reliable detection of nearby targets in industrial environments. For integration, consult the datasheet for mounting, electrical connections, and sensing distance considerations, and be aware that performance can be influenced by target reflectivity and environmental conditions.
