The World’s Smallest Size
*
* Among photoelectric sensors with built-in amplifier, as of June 2015 (survey by our company)
Unit volume ratio reduced by about 50%*
* As compared to EX-10 series
The world’s thinnest* sensor dimension of
3 mm 0.118 in has been achieved by
utilizing new semiconductor packaging
technology that does not use wire bonding.
The small unit size allows installation of
sensors in a narrow space where only a
conventional fiber sensor head could be
installed before. The built-in amplifier also
saves on installation space.

Small-object sensing capability
Capable of sensing an extremely small ø0.3 mm
ø0.012 in object without slit EX-Z11□
A slit is provided on the front side of the main sensor body. The
sensor can detect a ø0.3 mm ø0.012 in object (the smallest-object
sensing capability in the industry*) without using an optional slit.
* Among photoelectric sensors with built-in amplifier, as of June 2015 (survey by our company)
Capability to sense a small ø1.0 mm ø0.039 in object
over long distance EX-Z13□
The high-brightness 4-element red LED provides strong light
emission stably over a long period of time. In spite of the extremely
small size, both front sensing and side sensing units can sense a
small ø1.0 mm ø0.039 in object from a long distance of 500 mm
19.685 in. Since the spotlight is clearly visible, the sensing position
can be easily confirmed.

A wide range of applications
Examples of applications
Inflection resistant cable type available for all models
Inflection resistant cable type with
improved flex resistance is available
for all models. Select the model
suitable for your specific application.
The standard type comes with lead
wires with the same diameter as
previous models, but the outside
diameter of the cable is 2.0 mm
0.079 in and thinner than the cables
of the EX‑10 series. This facilitates
cable routing.
Detection of parts in parts feeder
IP67 protective structure
The sensors features an IP67
protective structure to allow their use
in process lines where water is used
or splashed.
Rust-resistant stainless steel sensor
mounting brackets and screws are
available.
Note: If water splashes on the sensor during
sensing operation, it may sense water as
an object.
