Miniature inductive sensors and extended detection distance

XECRO Miniature series inductive proximity switches are designed specifically for precision machinery facing severe installation space restrictions.

The lineup provides cylindrical outer diameters down to three millimeters, threaded M4 and M5 housings, and five-by-five millimeter rectangular modules featuring integrated semiconductor signal processing circuits.

Utilizing proprietary printed circuit architectures and micro-wound coil assemblies enabled XECRO engineers to achieve quadruple standard operating detection ranges.

This extended operating gap eliminates mechanical collision hazards between the sensor tip and moving target workpieces amid machine vibration and structural deflection.

Metal Face solid stainless steel sensor construction

The XECRO Metal Face proximity sensor family was engineered specifically for machine tools, stamping presses, and heavy mechanical engineering.

Unlike standard proximity switches featuring polymer sensing caps, Metal Face housings are precision machined from solid stainless steel bar stock, creating a continuous front barrier.

This solid metallic construction withstands abrasive wear, hot metal shavings, and mechanical contact friction from moving machine workpieces.

Environmental sealing rated to IP68 and IP69K provides total protection for internal electronic assemblies under continuous exposure to cooling lubricants, water emulsions, and high-temperature cleaning agents.

High-temperature sensors and extreme pressure technology

For metallurgy plants, plastic injection molding machinery, and thermal curing equipment, XECRO engineers developed a family of thermal-resistant inductive switches rated for continuous operation up to 180 degrees Celsius.

Internal electronic components and sensing coils are encapsulated in compounds engineered to eliminate thermal expansion fatigue.

For hydraulic cylinders and fluid power equipment, specialized sensor configurations withstand static and dynamic hydraulic pressures up to 1000 bar.

A solid ceramic or steel sensing diaphragm combined with dual sealing rings prevents sensor blowout and hydraulic fluid leakage under severe hydraulic pressure surges.

Capacitive level sensors and chemical-resistant polymer housings

XECRO capacitive proximity switches detect diverse solid, granular, powdered, and liquid materials regardless of their magnetic qualities.

These sensors monitor plastic pellets in hoppers, water-based emulsions, industrial oils, and liquid chemicals through non-metallic storage tank walls without direct contact.

For operation inside aggressive chemical settings including electroplating baths and chemical vessels, sensors are manufactured in solid PTFE fluoropolymer housings without exposed metallic fasteners.

Integrated adjustment potentiometers and thermal compensation circuits provide dependable triggering and reject false signals caused by moisture condensation.

Optical fork and frame light barriers with digital IO-Link protocol

XECRO optical fork sensors and frame light grids represent integrated optoelectronic assemblies.

The rigid U-shaped or enclosed frame ensures permanent optical alignment between the emitter and photodetector throughout thermal expansion and industrial vibration, eliminating complicated optical axis realignment procedures during routine servicing.

These instruments feature sub-millisecond optical response times and concentrated infrared or visible beams, facilitating dependable detection of small falling screws, pins, or pharmaceutical tablets.

Built-in IO-Link communication provides digital diagnostics of the optical path, monitoring operating parameters, and updating threshold configurations remotely.
