XUVU06 Ultrasonic Fork Sensor for Label Detection XUVU06M3KSNM8

The XUVU06M3KSNM8 is a fork-shaped (thru-beam) sensor from Telemecanique Sensors' OsiSense XU packaging range that uses ultrasonic emission instead of light to detect labels passing through its 60 mm x 3 mm fork gap. Because detection relies on sound waves rather than optics, it reliably senses transparent, metallized, or irregularly shaped labels that would defeat a standard photoelectric label sensor. It is built for label-dispensing and packaging lines, offering a fast 0.3 ms response/recovery delay, PNP/NPN programmable NO/NC outputs, and an IP65 metal housing for durability on high-speed applicators. Per FST's classification rule, label/mark sensors are grouped under Photoelectric Sensors even when the technology is ultrasonic — Telemecanique itself lists this product under its "Photoelectric sensors XU" family.

• Ultrasonic thru-beam sensing detects transparent, metallized, and hard-to-see labels that defeat optical sensors
• Fork (label-fork) body design with 3 mm passage width and 69 mm passage depth for direct mounting over the label web
• Very fast response: max. 0.3 ms response and 0.3 ms recovery delay, supporting high-speed label dispensing lines
• PNP and NPN programmable NO/NC solid-state outputs via a single M8, 4-pin connector
• Numeric potentiometer setting with accuracy of +/-0.20 mm at 120 m/min label speed
• Rugged zinc-alloy fork housing rated IP65, 12…24 V DC supply with reverse-polarity, overload and short-circuit protection
