About Sunx EX-10 Photoelectric Sensors
EX-10 Series -Miniature Photoelectric Sensors
Ultra Small Photoelectric Sensors That are Great for Embedded Applications
- Self contained amplifier built in only 3.5mm thick
- Front sensing and side sensing versions
- Up to 1M range for front sensing thru-beam version
The EX-10 series is one of the smallest sensors on the market today. The ultra small size allows for mounting in the smallest areas. A bright 2-color indicator on the sensor head allows for quick determination of the sensor state. The EX-10 series is also equipped with a 0.5ms response time for high-speed detection and an IP-67 rated housing for wash-down environments. The mounting options available include a front sensing type as well as a side sensing type. Each type has two, metal reinforced M3 mounting holes for stable sensor placement.

High Detection Accuracy in a Compact BodyThe Sunx EX-10 Photoelectric Sensors deliver reliable, high-precision detection thanks to a small beam diameter and responsive electronics housed in a compact 10 x 14.5 x 3.5 mm enclosure. Their adaptability makes them ideal for constrained spaces without compromising performance, especially for object detection on assembly lines or in robotics.
Robust Performance in Challenging EnvironmentsEngineered with durable metal and polycarbonate housing, these sensors perform within a wide temperature range (-25C to +55C) and offer resistance to vibration and shock. Their IP67 rating guarantees reliable operation in dusty or wet industrial settings, making them suitable for various rugged automation and packaging applications.
Easy Integration and Versatile Sensing OptionsThe EX-10 series features simple panel or DIN rail mounting and comes pre-wired for hassle-free installation. Models are available with red or infrared LEDs and support three primary sensing methods: through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse-reflective, allowing flexible deployment across different stages of industrial automation.
FAQ's of Sunx EX-10 Photoelectric Sensors:
Q: How do I install the Sunx EX-10 Photoelectric Sensor in my system?
A: The EX-10 sensors feature pre-wired connectors and support both panel and DIN rail mounting. Their compact design makes installation straightforward, even in tight spaces; simply secure the sensor in place, connect the wires according to your system's requirements, and adjust the sensitivity as necessary.
Q: What are the benefits of using the EX-10 sensors in automation or packaging applications?
A: These sensors provide high detection accuracy, fast 0.5 ms response time, and robust protection against dust, water, shock, and vibration. This ensures outstanding reliability and minimal downtime on assembly lines, in packaging systems, and in robotic applications.
Q: Where can the Sunx EX-10 Series be effectively deployed?
A: The sensors are well-suited for industrial environments such as automation lines, packaging machines, robotics, and assembly stations. Their IP67 rating and wide operating temperature range enable use in conditions where exposure to dust, moisture, or temperature variation is common.
Q: What sensor types and operating ranges are available for the EX-10 Series?
A: The series includes through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse-reflective models. Depending on the model, the detection (measurement) range can be adjusted from 10 mm up to 1000 mm, ideal for both close-range and extended object detection tasks.
Q: How does the sensor indicate operation and stability?
