1. Precision Part Counting on Conveyors
This sensor can be used in automated assembly lines or packaging systems to accurately count small components as they pass on a conveyor belt. Its ultra-compact size allows for integration into tight spaces, and the 1-meter through-beam detection ensures reliable counting without interference from ambient light.
Problem SolvedAccurate and reliable counting of small or irregularly shaped parts in high-speed production environments, preventing over- or under-packaging.

2. Small Object Presence Detection in Robotic Grippers
Integrated within the tooling of robotic grippers, the EX-21A-PN can confirm the presence or absence of small objects before or after a pick-and-place operation. Its miniature dimensions (4.5mm thickness) are critical for fitting into confined robotic end-effectors, while the PNP output provides direct compatibility with PLC inputs.
Problem SolvedEnsuring proper gripping and transfer of miniature components by robots, preventing errors caused by missing or misaligned parts, thereby improving automation reliability.
