The Telemecanique XUB2BPBWM12R is a tubular photoelectric through-beam detector from the XUB series, built for presence sensing over a 15 m range. It operates on 12 to 24 VDC and switches a PNP normally-closed output at up to 100 mA, with a 1 ms on/off response time — fast enough for counting or position detection on moderate-speed conveyor lines.
The 15 m sensing distance means the emitter and receiver can be mounted across a wide conveyor or machine opening — typical for pallet detection or part-present at the infeed. The 1 ms response time supports line speeds up to roughly 500 objects per minute, assuming a minimum object dwell. The 500 Hz switching frequency confirms that limit. The nickel-plated brass barrel and IP67 / NEMA 4X/12 enclosure let it handle washdown and dusty environments — common in food processing or packaging lines. The M12 4-pin DC micro connector mates directly to standard quick-disconnect cables; no hardwiring needed. Approvals include UL, CSA, and CE, so the part is accepted across North American and European panels without additional agency review.
