Leuze LS33CI.XR1/XX-M8 Throughbeam photoelectric sensor transmitter

A high-performance throughbeam photoelectric sensor transmitter from Leuze, the LS33CI.XR1/XX-M8 is designed to deliver reliable object detection over a defined path with a compact M8-connectivity interface. It supports robust operation for industrial automation, offering standard DC supply, compatible conductor types, and mounting flexibility for integration into compact or modular sensing installations. Description The LS33CI.XR1/XX-M8 Throughbeam sensor transmitter provides a defined infrared beam path for object detection with a corresponding receiver unit. Electrical supply is in the common industrial DC range (10–30 V DC), with output and diagnostic signals suitable for integration into PLC-based control systems. The unit uses an M8-style connector footprint for quick connection to standard sensor cables, enabling straightforward field assembly. Mechanical integration is supported through compact housing dimensions and typical throughbeam mounting practices, including alignment-friendly features to maintain beam integrity across installation tolerances. Common applications include conveyor line monitoring, part presence detection on workstations, and safety/guarding or process control points where a defined, remote sensing path is required. Any relevant safety or manufacturing standards applicable to Leuze throughbeam configurations (such as general-purpose IP-rated housings and functional safety considerations) should be reviewed in the accompanying documentation.
