Industrial Applications

1. Precision Part Detection in Automated Assembly Lines

The EX-11EB-PN's ultra-slim profile (4.5mm thickness) and precise 1mm minimum detectable object, combined with a 150mm sensing range, make it ideal for accurately detecting small components like PCB wafers, tiny fasteners, or electronic chips as they move along a conveyor or within a compact feeder system. Its 0.05mm repeatability ensures consistent and reliable detection for high-throughput processes.

Problem Solved

Ensures accurate positioning and presence detection of small, delicate parts in space-constrained automation cells, preventing assembly errors and improving quality control.

2. Material Edge Sensing in Web Guiding Systems

With its 4.5mm thin body and 150mm sensing range, this thru-beam sensor can be mounted very close to the edge of thin materials (e.g., film, paper, fabric webs) to accurately detect and control their lateral position. The 0.5ms response time and 0.05mm repeatability are crucial for dynamic web guiding applications, ensuring the material remains centered or correctly aligned during processing.

Problem Solved

Maintains precise material alignment in high-speed web processing, reducing waste from misalignment and ensuring consistent product quality.

3. Tool Presence Verification in CNC Machining Centers

Its IP67 protection and robust operating temperature range (-25 to +55 ℃) allow the EX-11EB-PN to operate reliably in the harsh environment of a CNC machine, where coolant spray and metal dust are present. The ultra-slim design enables integration into tight spaces within tool changers or near the spindle to verify the presence or correct seating of small cutting tools, leveraging its 1mm minimum detectable object capability.

Problem Solved

Prevents machining errors and potential damage by confirming the presence and proper position of tools before operation, enhancing safety and operational efficiency in harsh environments.
