EX-26A Panasonic photoelectric switch NEW

Product Description:

Miniaturization by using single chip optical IC

The beam-receiving photodiode and the A/D conversion circuit have been fabricated on a single chip optical IC (full custom). Hence, in spite of its miniature size, it has a performance and reliability which is equal to or better than the conventional product.

Incorporates a sensitivity adjuster even in this size

The sensor incorporates a sensitivity adjuster in spite of its miniature size. It is convenient when you need fine adjustment. Further, the receiver of the thru-beam, side sensing type sensor incorporates an operation mode switch which can change the output operation.

Long sensing range

The EX-20 series achieves long distance sensing [thru-beam type: 2 m 6.562 ft, retroreflective type: 200 mm 7.874 in (when using the attached reflector), diffuse reflective type: 160 mm 6.299 in], despite its miniature size.

Hence, it is usable even on a wide conveyor.

Clear beam spot using red LED dot light source

The emission area of a dot light source is smaller than that of a conventional LED flat light source, and it is possible to design a high power, narrow beam. Since a red LED dot light source is used, the red beam spot is clear even at a far place, so that alignment and confirmation of sensing position is easy. Further, since the thru-beam type, too, incorporates a visible narrow beam, it can also reliably detect small parts, such as, chip components, lead frames, etc.

Electric power saving

The EX-20 series achieves reductions in power consumption of up to 65 %. These sensors contribute to environmental friendliness.

Waterproof IP67 (IEC)

The sensor can be hosed down because of its IP67 construction. Further, the sensor mounting bracket is also made of stainless steel.
