1. Precision Small Part Verification on Automated Lines
The EX-15's ability to detect objects as small as ø1 mm with a 0.5 ms response time makes it ideal for verifying the presence or absence of tiny components (e.g., screws, electronic pins) moving rapidly through an automated assembly or inspection station. Its ultra-slim profile allows integration into crowded machinery without interference.
Problem SolvedEnsures accurate assembly and prevents defects caused by missing or misaligned small components in high-speed manufacturing processes.

2. Robotic Gripper Jaw Position and Part Presence Sensing
Its compact size (3.5 mm thickness) and 150 mm sensing range enable the EX-15 to be integrated directly into the jaws or tooling of robotic grippers. This allows for precise confirmation of gripper open/closed positions and the reliable detection of part presence within the gripper, even in dusty or wet environments due to its IP67 rating.
Problem SolvedProvides critical feedback for robotic manipulation tasks, preventing damage to parts or machinery from improper gripping, and ensuring successful material handling in harsh industrial settings.

3. Wafer Cassette/PCB Positioning in Semiconductor Manufacturing
The EX-15's ultra-slim form factor and ø1 mm minimum object detection capacity are perfectly suited for the delicate and space-constrained environments of semiconductor or PCB manufacturing. It can accurately confirm the position of thin wafer cassettes or circuit boards within process equipment, ensuring precise alignment during fabrication steps. The 12-24V DC operation is standard for such industrial control systems.
Problem SolvedGuarantees critical alignment and prevents costly errors in sensitive electronics manufacturing processes where minimal footprint and high precision are paramount.
