Miniaturised sensors
14 August 2018
A particular challenge when manufacturing miniaturised industrial photoelectric sensors is to combine both the optical and electronic components into one housing with a complex engineering solution. Panasonic is able to meet this challenge due to many years of experience in the development of photoelectric sensors for the automation industry.

The company's EX-Z Series sensor is reported to be the smallest optical thru-beam sensor with a built-in amplifier. Even though the housing is only 3mm deep all the elements optics, electronics, indicator LEDs, and a transistor output fit inside the extremely compact package.
It appeals to many industries with its low power consumption, IP65 degree of protection and also excellent vibration and shock resistance allowing it to be used in harsh environments.
