Ultra-Thin Size

These ultra-thin sensors which are photoelectric sensors from Autonics company, measure just 3.7mm in thickness, making them ideal for installation in limited spaces or small machinery.

Detect Tiny Targets as Small as Ø0.2mm

The sensors can detect tiny targets as small as Ø0.2mm, including metallic wires, semiconductor chips, thin thermocouples, and more.

Maximum Detection Distance of 1 M

The compact sensors are capable of detecting items at distances up to 1m. (through-beam type)

Check Operation Status

The sensors are equipped with stability indicators (green LED) and operation indicators (red LED)

Visible Detection Spot

Visible red light source allows users to easily check sensing spots for installation.

IP67 Protection Structure

IP67 protection structure allows the units to be safely applied in environments with dust or water.
