The Telemecanique XUK8AKSNM12 is a high-performance photoelectric sensor from the OsiSense XU Series, designed for a wide range of industrial applications. This compact sensor, with dimensions of 50 x 50 mm, offers a reliable detection system with diffuse sensing and background suppression capabilities. It is capable of detecting objects up to 1 metre away, making it suitable for a variety of automation tasks.
Constructed from durable plastic with a PC enclosure and PMMA lens material, the XUK8AKSNM12 is built to withstand challenging industrial environments. It operates within a supply voltage range of 12 to 24 V DC and includes reverse polarity protection for enhanced safety and longevity. The sensor features both PNP and NPN discrete output types and allows for easy switching between normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) states, which can be programmed to suit specific application requirements.
The sensor is equipped with a 3-wire electrical connection using a male M12 connector with 4 pins, ensuring straightforward integration into existing systems. It also includes a sensitivity adjustment by potentiometer, allowing for fine-tuning in complex or variable operating conditions.
With a switching capacity of up to 100 mA and protection against overload and short circuits, the XUK8AKSNM12 is a robust choice for industrial sensing. It also boasts a quick response and recovery time of less than 2 ms, ensuring high-speed operation for time-sensitive processes.
The unit comes with a green LED to indicate supply status and a yellow LED to signal output state, providing clear and immediate visual feedback on the sensor's operation. The XUK8AKSNM12 is also certified with an IP65 rating, indicating a high level of protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for use in a variety of environmental conditions.
This sensor is an ideal solution for manufacturers and engineers looking for a reliable, adaptable, and easy-to-install photoelectric sensor for their automation needs.
