Schneider Electric XUL-K083D Photoelectric Sensor

The Telemecanique XUL-K083D Photoelectric Sensor (Schneider Electric) is an emitter for thru-beam non-contact object detection in industrial automation, typically paired with a receiver to monitor presence on conveyors, packaging lines, robotic cells, and other automated production equipment. It uses infrared light to detect objects across a distance of up to 8 m when used with a compatible receiver. Electrical specifications include a 12–24 VDC supply (10–30 VDC operating range), DC wiring, a 2-wire connection, and an M12 4‑pin male connector, with current consumption ≤35 mA. The sensor enclosure is ABS plastic with a PMMA lens, rated IP67, and it operates in environments from −25°C to +55°C (−40°C to +70°C storage). This device belongs to the XU/XUL family and is commonly chosen for industrial object detection, machine positioning, and automation control in facilities that require reliable non-contact sensing. Common replacements: Schneider Electric XUK5AKSAL2, Omron E3Z-T61, SICK WL12-3P2431.
