Telemecanique

Brand Overview

With over 90 years of experience in industrial automation, Telemecanique Sensors is recognized globally for its innovation in detection, positioning, and monitoring devices. As part of Schneider Electric, it leverages global support and cutting-edge R&D to deliver sensor solutions that ensure safety, efficiency, and process reliability across industrial sectors.

Limit Switches for Conveyor Systems

Telemecanique Sensors is particularly renowned for its robust and modular limit switches:

• XCK Series Limit Switches: These compact and heavy-duty switches offer interchangeable heads, multiple actuator options, and IP66/67 protection, making them ideal for detecting position and travel limits on conveyor belts.
• XCR and XCKP Safety Switches: Built for rugged environments, used in emergency stop and mechanical feedback applications on conveyors and material transfer systems.
• Integrated with spring or rod actuators for alignment, end-of-travel, or load positioning.

Inductive and Photoelectric Sensors

Telemecanique also provides smart sensing solutions essential for conveyor automation:

• Inductive Proximity Sensors (XS Series): Detect metallic objects moving along a conveyor without physical contact, ideal for monitoring object presence or jams.
• Photoelectric Sensors (XU Series): Provide long-range, non-contact detection for high-speed conveyor sorting systems, including transparent and reflective object detection.

Rotary Encoders and Speed Sensing

For speed feedback and conveyor motor control, Telemecanique offers rotary encoders:

• Absolute and incremental encoders used in speed monitoring and position feedback applications.
• Compatible with PLCs and motion control systems in packaging and material transport lines.

Global Compliance and Durability

All Telemecanique products are manufactured to meet global standards such as UL, CE, CSA, and IEC. Many of their sensors and switches are available in ATEX-certified versions for use in hazardous or explosive areas like mining and bulk material facilities. Products are tested for millions of mechanical operations and are rated IP65 to IP69K, ensuring reliability in dust, vibration, and washdown environments.

Conclusion

Telemecanique Sensors delivers high-performance detection and control solutions tailored to modern conveyor systems. From heavy-duty limit switches and inductive sensors to advanced photoelectric devices and encoders, their technology ensures precision, safety, and efficiency in every stage of material handling and industrial automation.
