The XUB9APBWM12: It is a polarized retroreflective sensor with a 2 m sensing range, so it will reject reflections from glossy packaging while still covering a typical conveyor gap.
Ratings that matter
PNP NC output at 12–24 VDC — common sink for PLC inputs. The 100 mA load current drives small contactors or indicator lamps directly. Response time is 1 ms ON/OFF, which means it can count parts at 500 Hz without missing a beat. IP67 and NEMA 4X/12 enclosure with PBT housing — fine for washdown zones as long as the M12 connector is properly torqued. Rated for -13 to 131 °F operating temperature.
