Ultra-minute photoelectric sensor enables installation in a narrow space

RS Components offer the new Panasonic EX-Z series ultra-minute photoelectric sensors with built in amplifier. The compact size allows installation of sensors in a narrow space where only a conventional fibre sensor head could be installed before. The built-in amplifier also saves on installation space. A slit is provided on the front side of the main sensor body allowing the sensor to detect a 0.3mm diameter object without using an optional slit. High-brightness four-element red LED provides strong light emission over a long period of time. With the spotlight clearly visible, the sensing position can be easily confirmed. The product comes supplied as an emitter and receiver pair.
