Smallest body, just 3.5 mm 0.138 in thick

It can be mounted in a very small space as its size is just
W10 x H14.5 x D3.5 mm
W0.394 x H0.571 x D0.138 in (thru-beam, front sensing type).

Flexible mounting

The diffuse reflective type sensor is front sensing and is so thin that it gives an impression of being just pasted on the mounting base. The thru-beam type is available as front sensing type, as well as, side sensing type, allowing flexible mounting.

High-speed response time: 0.5 ms

The sensor is suitable for detecting small and high-speed traveling objects.

Minimum sensing object: ø1 mm ø0.039 in [EX-11(E)□, EX-15(E)□]

EX-11□, EX-11E□, EX-15 and EX-15E are incorporated with ø1 mm ø0.039 in slit masks so that ø1 mm ø0.039 in, or more, object can be detected. Hence, they are suitable for precise positioning or small parts detection.

Long sensing range: 1 m 3.281 ft [EX-19□]

A sensing range of 1 m 3.281 ft has been realized with a slim size of just 3.5 mm 0.138 in. It can be used to detect even wide IC trays.

Background suppression

- Hardly affected by background
Even a specular background separated by 100 mm 3.937 in, or more, is not detected. (However, the background should be directly opposite. A spherical or curved background may be detected.)

- Black object reliably detected
It can reliably detect dark color objects since it is convergent reflective type.

Waterproof

The sensor can be hosed down because of its IP67 construction and the non-corrosive stainless steel mounting bracket.

Note: However, take care that if it is exposed to water splashes during operation, it may detect a water drop itself.

Ten times durable [EX-□-R]

Flexible cable on EX-□-R is 10 times as durable as conventional model. It is most suitable for moving parts, such as robot arm, etc.

Bright 2-color indicator

A convenient 2-color indicator has been incorporated in the miniature body.

Mountable with M3 screws

Non-corrosive stainless steel type mounting bracket is also available.

Red beam makes beam alignment easy

The red LED beam projected from the emitter helps you to align the sensor heads.

Operation mode switch [EX-15□/17□]

Thru-beam type sensor incorporated with an operation mode switch on the bifurcation is also available. It helps you to test the operability before start-up.
