The Panasonic EX-10 series photoelectric sensors are designed for applications requiring a compact and versatile sensing solution. Their ultra-slim profile (just 3.5mm thick) allows for flexible mounting, even in tight spaces. Features include a long sensing range (up to 1m), background suppression for reliable detection, and a high-speed response time (0.5ms). The sensors are also environmentally resistant, with an IP67 rating and an inverter countermeasure circuit. They are ideal for detecting small objects, positioning PCBs, and checking for the presence of components in trays.
