1. Robotic Arm Component Alignment
The EX-11EB's ultra-slim profile and 0.05 mm repeatability allow for precise detection and alignment of small electronic components (e.g., PCBs, connectors) within the confined work envelope of robotic arms on automated assembly lines. Its through-beam sensing ensures reliable presence detection, critical for accurate pick-and-place operations.
Problem SolvedEnsures accurate and repeatable placement of small components by providing high-precision presence and position feedback, preventing assembly errors and improving throughput in confined robotic work environments.

2. High-Speed Small Part Counting
Ideal for production lines handling small items like pharmaceutical tablets or electronic pins, the EX-11EB detects objects as small as ø1.0 mm with a rapid 0.5 ms response time. Its through-beam mode reliably counts items, even transparent ones, while the IP67 rating ensures durability in environments with dust or potential washdowns.
Problem SolvedAccurately counts small, fast-moving items on a production line, preventing under- or over-packaging and ensuring precise inventory management without slowing down the manufacturing process.
