Free sample of 'world's smallest' photoelectric sensor
27 February 2017
With its EX-Z range, Panasonic claims to offer the smallest photoelectric sensors in the world, measuring just 14 x 8 x 3mm including optics, electronics, indicator LEDs, and transistor output.

Thru-beam type with a built-in amplifier, the sensors have a range of up to 500mm (EX-Z13) and are able to detect objects with a diameter of as little as 0.3mm (EX-Z11). Front and side sensing types are available, all of which feature a clearly visible LED spotlight. IP67 protection and robot-cable versions are also available.
Engineers/companies working in Europe within the field of machine building and industrial production; people with an adequate technical background; and ompanies with a concrete application which allows them to test the product in the field can all request a free sample by filling out the request form at www.panasonic-electric-works.com/eu/form-ex-z.htm
