This XS6 is a part of the OsiSense XS product range of inductive proximity sensors. Inductive proximity sensors enable the detection, without physical contact, of metal objects. Its range of applications is very extensive and includes monitoring the position of machine parts (cams, end stops, etc.) or counting the presence of metal objects. These sensors have high operating rates, fast response, and excellent resistance to industrial environments (robust products, fully encapsulated in resin). The range of this sensor is 0.06in (1.5mm) to 0.31in (8mm). The sensor accepts 12VDC to 48VDC power and provides a normally open discrete PNP output along with an output state LED. The sensor is a flush mountable nickel plated brass M18 thread barrel sensor with a 6.56ft (2m) 3-wire cable. It is compliant with UL, CE, CSA, and E2 standard, is IP68 and IP69K rated, and has a low temperature rating. It is suitable for railway, mobile equipment, material handling/conveying/logistics, material working/machine tools, packaging, robotics, food and beverage industries. This product is certified by CE, CSA, E2 and UL. Inductive sensors come in flush and non-flush versions, M8, M12, M18, M30 short and long bodies cylindrical forms, standard cubic, rectangular and flat forms. The inductive proximity sensors for non contact sensing of metal objects up to 60mm. It is designed for use in industrial applications relating to presence detection.
