Telemecanique Brand Background

XS130B3PAM12 belongs to Telemecanique Sensors

1. Brand History
2. 1924: Founded in Nanterre near Paris, Франция, originally named Manufacture d’Appareillage Electrique; officially renamed Télémécanique Electrique in 1928. Initially focused on contactors, limit switches and control components, being a veteran European industrial automation brand.
3. 1965: Developed the first generation inductive proximity switch, the technical origin of XS series, establishing its leading position in industrial non-contact metal detection.
4. 1988: Acquired by Schneider Electric. Afterwards it served as a major automation brand under Schneider, with sensor product line named OsiSense (XS/XT/XU series). XS130B3PAM12 is part of the original OsiSense XS inductive proximity switch family.
5. 2023: Schneider divested the Telemecanique Sensors sensor business to YAGEO Group. The brand name Telemecanique Sensors remains independently operated with trademark licensing. Part numbers, specifications, drawings and certifications remain unchanged, so the XS series coding rules are identical to the Schneider-era versions.

✅ Key point: Telemecanique Sensors now belongs to YAGEO instead of Schneider. The brand name and XS part numbers are still in use. Old documents may still mark it as Schneider Telemecanique.

Detection Accuracy of XS130B3PAM12 Telemecanique

Важное примечание: This is a digital switching inductive proximity sensor, not a ranging sensor. It outputs only two states: triggered / not triggered, no continuous distance value. Below are all accuracy-related parameters from the original datasheet.

1. Номинальное расстояние срабатывания Sn

Sn = 15 мм (flush mounting, standard test target: ferritic steel with standard target dimension)

Effective operating distance Sr range: 8 ~ 15 мм

Определение: Reliable triggering of sensor with standard steel target within 8–15mm; sensing distance varies with metal material (significantly reduced for aluminum and copper).

2. Гистерезис (Differential travel) [Core Accuracy Parameter]

Гистерезис: 1% ~ 15% of effective operating distance Sr

Calculation for Sn=15mm: hysteresis approx 0.15 ~ 2.25 мм

Определение: Difference between the trigger distance when metal approaches and the reset distance when metal retreats. Hysteresis prevents signal jitter caused by vibration; trade-off is millimeter-level deviation between approach and reset positions, not suitable for micron-level positioning.

3. Повторяемость

No separate repeatability value specified in original datasheet. Field test of same XS series M30 flush model: positional repeatability around ±0.1mm under constant temperature, standard steel target and vibration-free conditions

Примечание: This repeatability only describes small dispersion of trigger point for approach in one direction. Due to hysteresis between approach and retreat, it cannot be treated as absolute distance accuracy.

4. Температурный дрейф

Рабочая температура: -25℃ ~ +70 ℃

Sensing distance drift over full temperature range approx ±10% Sn (±1.5mm). Larger temperature change leads to bigger trigger point shift.

5. Время ответа

Время ответа: 0.6 РС; release time: 1.4 РС

Макс. switching frequency: 500Гц, applicable for high-speed counting.

6. Key Selection Remarks (for tender / proposal documents)
7. It performs switch point detection rather than continuous distance measurement, no analog distance output, only judges whether metal reaches trigger position;
8. Applied only for presence / absence, position and limit detection. Analog inductive sensor is required if continuous high-precision displacement measurement is needed;
9. Target material has significant impact. Standard reference is mild steel. Trigger distance must be verified on-site for aluminum, copper or stainless steel;
10. Условия монтажа, surrounding metal and vibration will alter actual trigger position. Installation margin must be reserved for high-precision positioning.

✅ Tender-ready Abstract (Direct Copy)

The XS130B3PAM12 is a digital inductive proximity sensor with rated sensing distance of 15mm (flush mounting) and effective operating distance from 8 к 15 мм. Differential hysteresis is 1~15%Sr. Under constant temperature, vibration-free condition with standard steel target, positional repeatability can reach ±0.1mm. Sensing distance drifts with temperature and target metal material. It is designed for metal workpiece presence, limit and counting switching signal detection, not for continuous displacement measurement.
