2. Edge Detection for Web Guiding Systems
With 0.05mm repeatability and ø2.0mm minimum detectable object, this sensor accurately detects the edge of thin materials in web guiding systems for packaging or printing. Its compact size allows for close spacing of multiple sensors for fine control, supporting speeds requiring a 0.5ms response. The IP67 rating ensures durability in challenging environments.
Problem SolvedMaintains consistent material alignment and tension in web processing, preventing material waste and ensuring precise print or cut accuracy, particularly with thin or delicate materials.

3. Small Part Counting and Jam Detection on Miniature Conveyors
The EX-13B can be mounted in constrained spaces on miniature conveyors to accurately count small parts (ø2.0mm minimum) or detect jams. Its thrubeam sensing and 500mm range provide reliable detection. The Dark-On NPN output can trigger a PLC for counting increments or emergency stops within 0.5ms, preventing damage to machinery or products. Its IP67 design ensures reliability in dusty or moist conditions.
Problem SolvedProvides reliable, high-speed counting and prevents costly production stoppages caused by accumulation or blockage of small items on high-throughput conveyor lines, safeguarding machinery and product flow.
