The Telemecanique OsiSense XS7C1A1DBL2 is a flat rectangular inductive proximity sensor from the XS7 series, measuring 40 x 40 x 15 mm. Its 15 mm sensing distance makes it suitable for detecting metallic objects through non-metallic walls or in confined mounting spaces where a standard cylindrical sensor won't fit. The flat form factor allows flush mounting into machine frames or conveyor side rails without protruding into the material flow path.
Deployment context
The 40 x 40 x 15 mm flat body mounts flush against machine frames, panel doors, or conveyor rails using through-hole or bracket mounting. The 15 mm sensing range means it detects ferrous targets at that distance through up to about 3 mm of stainless steel or 6 mm of aluminum, though derating applies for non-ferrous metals. Typical applications include end-of-travel detection on linear slides, part-presence sensing on pallet conveyors, and position feedback on pneumatic actuators where space is tight.
