Description

The Panasonic EX-14A photoelectric sensor utilizes a reflective sensing principle, where its integrated red LED emits light and a phototransistor detects the reflection from a target object. This built-in optical system, combined with an onboard signal amplifier, provides a clean, switching output signal, eliminating the need for external conditioning circuitry.

Designed for industrial durability, the sensor features an IP67 sealed enclosure, protecting it against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. Its wide supply voltage range and robust temperature tolerance make it suitable for integration into factory automation, packaging machinery, and material handling systems where reliable object detection is critical.

Key Features

  • Industrial-Grade Construction: IP67-rated housing provides excellent protection against dust and water jets for reliable operation in harsh environments.
  • Integrated Amplifier: Built-in circuitry outputs a clean, switched NPN signal, simplifying direct connection to PLCs, counters, and relay modules.
  • Precise Reflective Sensing: Red LED light source enables accurate detection of objects within the specified 2mm to 25mm range.
  • Broad Temperature Tolerance: Operates reliably across an extended temperature range from -25°C to +55°C.
  • Flexible Power Supply: Compatible with standard industrial DC voltage levels from 12V to 24V.
  • Convenient Connection: Pre-attached cable facilitates easy wiring into control panels and junction boxes.

Applications

  • Object presence detection on conveyor belts and assembly lines.
  • Part counting and sorting in automated packaging machinery.
  • Position verification of components in robotic pick-and-place systems.
  • Door and cover interlock sensing in industrial equipment.
  • Level detection for small parts in bins or hoppers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output type of the Panasonic EX-14A sensor?

The EX-14A provides an NPN open-collector output. This is a sinking output, meaning it pulls the signal line to ground when the sensor is activated. It is compatible with PLCs and controllers that accept NPN inputs or can be used with a pull-up resistor for a positive voltage signal.

What is the required power supply for this sensor?

The sensor operates on a DC voltage range of 12 to 24 volts. Ensure your power source is within this range and can supply the required current, which is a maximum of 13mA. Always observe correct polarity when connecting the power wires.

Can this sensor be used in wet or dusty environments?

Yes, the Panasonic EX-14A is rated IP67, which means it is dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for use in washdown areas, outdoor applications, or industrial settings with significant dust exposure.

How do I adjust the sensing distance?

The EX-14A is a fixed-range reflective sensor with a detection span of 2mm to 25mm. The sensing distance is not user-adjustable via a potentiometer. Optimal detection requires the target object to be within this specified range and have suitable reflectivity for the red LED light source.
