1. High-Speed Small Parts Verification in Robotic Grippers
The EX-15E's ultra-slim 4.5mm profile and 1mm minimum detectable object size make it perfect for integration directly into compact robotic grippers or end-effectors. Its 0.5ms response time ensures real-time feedback for high-speed pick-and-place operations, verifying the presence or correct orientation of small components, even in washdown environments (IP67).
Problem SolvedEnsures accurate and rapid verification of small component presence and orientation in robotic pick-and-place applications where space is severely limited, even under challenging environmental conditions.

2. Edge Detection for Precision Labeling/Printing Machines
In machines requiring precise alignment of materials, such as label applicators or high-speed inkjet printers, the EX-15E can detect the leading or trailing edge of thin materials (e.g., paper, film) with its 1mm minimum object detection and 0.05mm repeat accuracy. Its slim design allows it to be mounted very close to the material path, minimizing setup space and enabling accurate registration control even in dusty or damp production lines (IP67).
Problem SolvedProvides precise and reliable edge detection for thin materials, crucial for accurate alignment and registration in high-speed labeling and printing processes, overcoming space constraints and environmental factors.

3. Component Presence/Absence Check in Wafer Cassettes/PCB Assembly
For semiconductor manufacturing or PCB assembly lines, where space is extremely limited and precise detection of very small, delicate components is critical, the EX-15E's 4.5mm thickness and 1mm minimum detectable object size are highly advantageous. It can confirm the presence or absence of ICs, small electronic parts, or even wafers in a cassette. The 12-24VDC operation integrates seamlessly with industrial control systems, and IP67 provides protection against accidental splashes or dust.
Problem SolvedEnables accurate and non-intrusive presence/absence verification of miniature and delicate components in highly compact and sensitive manufacturing environments like semiconductor and PCB assembly, ensuring process integrity and preventing errors.
