Part of the Schneider Electric XS1 series, this inductive proximity sensor is designed for detecting metallic objects in industrial environments. The 'B3' designation typically indicates a specific sensing range and output type within the XS1 family. The 'PAM12' suffix points to a M12 connector type, facilitating straightforward electrical connections in automated systems. This sensor is engineered for reliable operation in demanding conditions, commonly found in machine tool applications, material handling, and assembly lines.
