Schneider Electric announces the launch of its latest OsiSense sensor product, the XUK-S photo electric sensor as part of its Telemecanique Sensors brand.

The smooth steel case of OsiSense XUK-S comes equipped with a special feature, a metal flush level button and unlike customary push buttons, the XUK – S is sealed into the device. This makes the product more compact and more suited to installations in strict hygiene zones, such as those in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, biomedical technology, and primary packaging industries.

Key features and benefits of the OsiSense XUK-S photo electric sensor include:

• A resilient 316L stainless steel housing encasement, rated protection of IP69K, and Ecolab certified, well suited to harsh environments.
• The regular acceptance of usage with strong disinfectants and high temperature water rinses with peaks of up to 100°C which means no protective measures are required.
• Detection settings can be directly adjusted through the built-in teach button, which is fully lockable in operating mode to avoid unexpected use.
• An output status that is programmable to NO or NC, and a M12 connector to allow for rapid connection.

This new range of OsiSense XUK-S photo electric sensors also includes background suppression, polarised reflex and through beam options, they can be easily set up for detection through the use of a visible red light spot.
