The world's thinnest** sensor dimension of 3mm has been achieved by utilizing a 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.

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 Ø 1.0mm object over a long distance of 500mm. Since the spotlight is clearly visible, the sensing position can be easily confirmed.

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.
