IP Degree of Protection: IP67 (Protection against dust and temporary immersion in water)
Vibration Resistance: $25 \text{ gn}$ (amplitude $2 \text{ mm}$ ) from $10 \text{ to } 55 \text{ Hz}$ conforming to IEC 60068-2-6.
Ambient Operating Temperature: $-25 \text{ to } 70 \text{ °C}$

Product Advantages

Non-Contact Detection: It detects metallic objects without touching them, minimizing wear and tear on the sensor and the target object, which leads to a longer service life and higher reliability.
Robust Construction: The plastic, M18 cylindrical housing provides good mechanical protection and resistance to harsh industrial environments, supported by an excellent IP67 rating.
Simplified Wiring: The M12 connector provides a quick, secure, and easily removable connection, which speeds up installation and maintenance.
High Switching Frequency: A switching frequency of up to $1500 \text{ Hz}$ allows for the reliable detection of fast-moving targets on high-speed machinery.
Direct PLC Interface: The PNP/NO output is standard for many modern Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), simplifying the electrical interface.
Integrated Protection: Built-in protection against reverse polarity, overload, and short-circuit helps prevent sensor damage from wiring errors or electrical faults.

Important Considerations (Precautions)

Sensing Distance Reduction: Although the nominal sensing distance ( $S_n$ ) is $5 \text{ mm}$ , this distance is determined using a standard target. The actual sensing distance will be reduced when detecting non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminum, brass) due to the nature of the inductive principle.
Mounting: The sensor must be mounted flush (embedded) into a metal support. Care must be taken to maintain the required non-sensing zone around the active face to prevent interference from surrounding metal.
Magnetic Fields: Avoid installing the sensor near strong electromagnetic fields, as they can interfere with the sensor's operation.
Target Size: The target object must be larger than the standard square target specified for the sensor to achieve the nominal sensing distance.
Cleaning: While the sensor is robust, avoid using harsh chemical solvents for cleaning, as these may damage the plastic housing.
Wiring: Ensure the supply voltage is within the specified $12 \text{ to } 24 \text{ V DC}$ range and that the load current does not exceed the $\leq 200 \text{ mA}$ switching capacity.

Product Applications

The XS4P18KP340 is widely used in factory automation for presence and position detection tasks across various industries.

Conveyor Systems: Detecting the presence or position of packages, trays, or metallic components on conveyor belts.
Machine Tooling: End-of-travel detection for moving slides and axes, or verifying the correct clamping of tools.
Automated Assembly: Verifying the presence of small metal parts or ensuring components are correctly positioned before a process step.
Packaging Machinery: Counting metallic caps, cans, or activating processes based on object positioning.
Robotics: Sensing the position of grippers or robotic arm end effectors.
Counting and Speed Measurement: Providing pulses for high-speed counting applications or rotational speed measurement (though lower-frequency applications are more typical).
