Fotoelektrische enkelstraals lichtsensor Panasonic EX13EBPN — enkelstraal, bereik 0,5 m, serie EX10/EX13

The Panasonic EX13EBPN is a through-beam (single-beam) photoelectric sensor from the EX10/EX13 series with a rated detection range of 0.5 m. It is engineered for short-range object detection and presence sensing in industrial automation, production lines and packaging equipment. The compact design allows straightforward integration into control systems where reliable interruption sensing is required over a short distance.

Advantages

This through-beam sensor provides stable detection at a 0.5 m range with a focused single-beam optical path that reduces false triggers from ambient light. The compact form factor and industrial-grade construction support installation in confined spaces and typical factory environments. Electrical output and mounting options are designed for compatibility with common automation equipment, enabling dependable signal transmission to PLCs and machine controllers.

Suitable for

• Short-range object detection on conveyor belts
• Presence sensing in packaging and filling machines
• Component detection in assembly lines
• Interruption detection for safety and counting applications

Key specifications

• Sensing principle: through-beam (single-beam)
• Rated detection range: 0.5 m
• Series family: EX10/EX13
• Compact industrial housing suitable for tight installations
• Optical beam type: focused single beam for stable detection
• Intended application: short-range object and presence sensing in automation

How to use

Position the emitter and receiver facing each other across the target path at the specified 0.5 m distance, ensuring the beam is unobstructed except by the objects to be detected. Secure both units using appropriate mounting brackets or fixtures to prevent misalignment. Connect the sensor outputs to the control system or PLC following the equipment’s wiring conventions and observe polarity and protective measures. After wiring, verify alignment by passing test objects through the beam and confirm reliable switching behavior under expected operating conditions.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep the optical surfaces clean and free from dust or condensation. Avoid mounting locations with excessive vibration or direct exposure to bright light sources that could affect beam stability. Regularly check alignment and electrical connections as part of scheduled maintenance to maintain detection accuracy.
