Rectangle
⚡Rectangular Long‑Range Photoelectric Sensors
Rectangular, long‑range photoelectric sensors
designed for demanding industrial applications
where extended sensing distances, strong optical power, and robust mechanical stability are required.
They sit above compact (XUC) and universal (XUK) sensors in terms of range, optical performance, and mechanical rigidity.
🔧 Key Features of XUX Long‑Range Sensors

—
Large optical window, rigid mounting, excellent alignment stability. - High‑power emitter/receiver
—
Reliable detection of large, dark, or irregular objects. - Multiple sensing modes
—
Through‑beam, polarised retro‑reflective, diffuse, laser variants. - PNP/NPN universal outputs
—
Compatible with all PLC brands. - IP65/IP67 protection
—
Dust‑tight and water‑resistant for harsh environments. - M12 connector or cable
—
Fast installation and replacement.
🧩 Where XUX Fits in the Telemecanique XU Family
| Family | Format | Range | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| XUM | Miniature | Short | Tight spaces, electronics |
| XUK | Universal rectangular | Medium | General automation |
| XUX | Rectangular long‑range | Long | Warehousing, logistics, and large conveyors |
| XUE | Heavy‑duty long‑range | Very long | Harsh industrial environments |
XUX is the long‑range rectangular category — ideal when XUK is not powerful enough.
🏭 Typical Applications
- Material handling — Pallet detection, long conveyor spans.
- Warehouse automation — Aisle monitoring, shuttle systems.
- Packaging lines — Large carton detection, film alignment.
- Outdoor detection — Gates, barriers, vehicle detection.
- Robotics & AGVs — Long‑distance presence and positioning.
⭐ One‑line summary
Telemecanique XUX sensors are rectangular, long‑range photoelectric detectors built for extended‑distance, high‑reliability object detection in industrial and logistics environments.
