Overview
The Telemecanique XS1M12PA371 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor from the OsiSense XS product line. Engineered for detection of metallic targets in manufacturing and process control, this M12-connected sensor delivers solid-state switching without mechanical wear. The used unit is fully functional and represents an excellent cost-effective alternative to new inventory for replacement and spare-parts applications.
