Industrial Applications

1. Precision Object Detection in Confined Spaces

The ultra-slim profile (10 x 3.5 x 20.5 mm) and ability to detect objects as small as ø2.0mm make this sensor ideal for integrating into jigs, fixtures, or tight machinery where space is extremely limited for precise presence/absence detection of small components.

Problem Solved

Provides accurate and reliable detection of small items in areas inaccessible to standard-sized sensors, preventing misalignments or missed parts in automated assembly.
