M18 tubular photoelectric sensor for through-beam detection
The Schneider Electric XU2M18MA230KR is an M18 tubular photoelectric sensor from the XU series, designed for through-beam detection in industrial automation lines. The M18 threaded barrel mounts into standard bracket or direct-hole mounts — the nickel-plated brass housing holds IP67 in washdown zones, so it suits packaging, bottling, or material-handling conveyors where coolant or washdown hits the sensor face.
Peer cross-reference for panel fit
The XU2M18MB230KR is a functional peer — same M18 tubular form factor, same XU series, same 24 to 240 VAC/VDC operating voltage range, and same IP67 enclosure rating.
